The Law Reform Commission of Canada (LRC) published, in 1982, a working paper, Euthanasia, Aiding Suicide and Cessation of Treatment. In 2009, MP Francine Lalonde proposed to the House of Commons bill C-384, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (right to die with dignity). This bill was undone. A period of about thirty years separates these two documents. What are the concerns which share these documents ? Does the bill understand assisted suicide in a way which differs from that of the LRC document ? The examination of the LRC document, bill C-384 and the works of the House of Commons highlights persistent difficulties in our public discussions. Some suggestions need to be done about the desirable debate on a subject as contentious as euthanasia and aiding suicide.
