Support for Bill C-277: Developing a Palliative Care Framework in Canada

The Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF) has written to all Senators and members of the House of Commons to communicate its support for private member's Bill C-277, an Act providing for the development of a framework on palliative care in Canada.

In its letter, COLF states "that Canadians approaching the end of life will be assured of receiving the kind of life-affirming care and the respect they deserve only through the establishment of a national palliative care strategy." In mid-November 2016, Bishop Douglas Crosby, O.M.I., President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB), was among the signatories of a joint ecumenical and interfaith letter also supporting the Bill.
