Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>Don’t believe the Chicken Little rhetoric. The sky is not falling. The independent Senate experiment has been a true success.

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>For those of you tooting in real time -- you can, if you are keen, use this link to watch the live stream of the special Senate Committee of the Whole on Bill C-62, the bill which would delay the inclusion of mental illness as a grounds to receive MAID.

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>Let me note. As I understand it, government will have to come back to the Senate for its blessing for this new extension. We'll have to see then what my colleagues decide to do. The Senate was certainly divided on this issue back in 2021. Three years later, we'll need to see where people stand, in light of all the intervening debate. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenateofCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SenateofCanada</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAID</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenCa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SenCa</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a></p>
Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦<p>Here, if you prefer, is the text of my speech from February 9, 2021, outlined my support for extending the right to MAID to people whose primarily cause of suffering is mental illness. This is a difficult question for many, I know. And we absolutely need to be sure we have more medical, social, and economic supports available for those suffering from intractable psychiatric conditions. But read on (or watch the video above) as I make my case. <a href="https://sencanada.ca/en/senators/simons-paula/interventions/553870/14#hID" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sencanada.ca/en/senators/simon</span><span class="invisible">s-paula/interventions/553870/14#hID</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenCa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SenCa</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenateofCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SenateofCanada</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAID</span></a></p>
