✘ Bill C-230, Protection of Freedom of Conscience Act

Bill

Bill C-230, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (intimidation of healthcare professionals)

Vote

Nay.

Rationale

Bill C-230’s proposed intimidation offence prohibiting the use of violence, threats of violence, coercion or intimidation to compel participation in MAiD would be largely duplicative of other Criminal Code offences and offer no additional protection to healthcare professionals. Specifically, the Criminal Code prohibits all forms of assault and uttering threats to cause bodily harm or death or damage property.

Failed.
