Alberta and Quebec’s differing approaches to MAID legislation

Alberta is set to diverge from Quebec’s approach to medical assistance in dying (MAID) by implementing stricter regulations. The province plans to introduce legislation that will restrict access to MAID for vulnerable groups, including mature minors and individuals with mental health issues without a physical ailment. Additionally, Alberta will ban advance requests for MAID, responding to perceived shortcomings in the federal government’s MAID program.
