We asked the Superior Court to suspend  our recourse until the declaration of  invalidity made by the Supreme Court of Canada on February 6, 2015 takes effect  (i.e. on February 6, 2016) or until the adoption of a new law by the federal  Parliament taking into account the <em>Carter<\/em> decision. Our request was granted by the Chief Justice of the Superior Court on  April 8, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>We are not capitulating! We will remain  vigilant and active throughout the process that will lead the federal  government to formulate its response to the <em>Carter<\/em> decision and thereafter to protect the public and, in particular,  vulnerable persons such as the sick, the  elderly and the handicapped. We will also work to ensure that physicians and  other healthcare workers maintain fully their freedom of conscience.<\/p>\n<p>There must be a mechanism (such as a Royal  Commission) for the federal government to establish a responsible reaction to  the <em>Carter<\/em> decision and time is  needed to accomplish this. For such reason, we also urge the federal government  to invoke the notwithstanding clause to suspend the effect of the <em>Carter<\/em> decision for the duration of such  Royal Commission and until a new federal law on physician-assisted suicide is  adopted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you know, in July 2014 Living with Dignity and the Physicians&#8217;
