I was sent this “Zoom” style panel discussion on the subject of Medical Assistance in Dying, which is the subject of bill c-7 presently passing through parliament. On the panel are Dr. Harvey Schipper, prof of Medicine & adjunct prof of law at the Univ. of Toronto; Dr. Leonie Herx, Chair, Division of Palliative Medicine, Queen's University; Andrew Coyne, Globe & Mail Natl. Affairs columnist; and Harry Swain, former federal deputy minister.
It’s rather long, but well worth your attention.
The Statement is available here.
On January 21st the Province extended the Red restrictions again with some modifications. The only change that affects our churches is that funerals gatherings can now accommodate ten persons, not including the priest and funeral staff. Public Masses remain suspended until at least February 12th.
Please watch our Archbishop’s weekly report — he addresses some of the pertinent issues.
