Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, the flagship video podcast of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
In this episode, Peter Copeland, Deputy Director of MLI’s Domestic Policy Program, is joined by Senior Fellow Dr. Ramona Coelho, a family physician from London, Ontario, whose practice is dedicated to serving marginalized communities.
Together, they discuss Dr. Coelho’s recent work with Ontario’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) Death Review Committee and the disturbing findings from its first report. They delve into the systemic challenges facing marginalized groups who are disproportionately affected by MAiD.
Dr. Coelho contends that MAiD should not become a response to societal neglect and argues that Canada’s regime lacks robust safeguards.
