OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – A private member’s Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) bill that would repeal the expansion of euthanasia laws to those suffering solely from mental illness will get its first official debate in the House of Commons tomorrow.

The bill – officially known as Bill C-314, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying) – was introduced in February by CPC MP Ed Fast. It received immediate praise from Canada’s top pro-life organization, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), after it passed its first reading.

The second reading of the bill will take place tomorrow, with the debate expected to last about one hour.

Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC), has praised the bill and welcomed the fact it will be debated tomorrow by MPs.

“The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) thanks the Hon Ed Fast MP for introducing Bill C-314, a bill that would prohibit euthanasia for mental illness,” Schadenberg wrote in a blog on Sunday.

“EPC supports Bill C-314 since it amends the Criminal Code to prohibit euthanasia for people with a mental disorder.”

Speaking with LifeSiteNews today, Schadenberg stated that the reality is that “leading psychiatrists are saying that mental disorders do not constitute an irremediable medical condition, and therefore, should not be considered for MAiD proves that the government has gone too far.”
