It’s Time to Act Again

After the majority win by Philippe Couillard and the Liberal Party during Monday’s elections, we received the bad news on Tuesday that Mr. Couillard intends on going forward with the end-of-life bill, which includes medical-assisted death.  This has come about despite half of his caucus in the last government being opposed to it and even he himself having expressed reservations on the subject last fall.

Their position has been taken.  It is time to act.

Speak to your deputy, in particular to the newly elected who have not yet expressed their views on the subject.  Write to the newspapers.  Speak up publicly in all possible forums.  Look for new signatories to the manifesto (www.soignertoujours.com).  We are presently at 624.  If each individual finds one new signatory, our numbers will increase to over a thousand doctors.

We invite you to send us a copy of your letter to the deputy or newspaper, at info@soignertoujours.com.  We will publish it on our blog, which will keep you informed during the following weeks on the further events and developments of your colleagues.

We must persevere.  We thank you for your valued support.
