    Quebec Select Committee on the Evolution of the Act respecting end-of-life care:
    As you may recall, the committee was created following a motion proposed by the National Assembly on March 31, 2021, to examine the issues related to extending medical aid in dying to persons who are incapable of caring for themselves and those who are suffering from mental illness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
