Doctors say Quebec plays a major role in shaping medical assistance in dying (MAID) across Canada. Multiple outlets report that physicians and other stakeholders point to Quebec as the province that helped pave the way for MAID nationally, influencing the development of federal legislation. The federal MAID law was passed in the House of Commons about 10 years ago and allows eligible adults to request MAID under defined criteria. The articles also note that Quebec has become a key reference point for how the practice scales and how frequently it is used. One outlet states that Quebec currently has the highest MAID rate in the world, and that medically assisted deaths reached a record level. While the outlets differ in the amount of detail they provide, they converge on the same core points: Quebec is viewed by doctors as an early driver of MAID’s Canadian implementation, and its experience is often linked to the subsequent federal framework that permits eligible adults to request the procedure.
