Many critics of Bill C-14 say the law is too restrictive, and doesn’t meet the Supreme Court’s requirements for a new law. WINNIPEG — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he remains “hopeful” the government’s proposed assisted-dying law will be adopted by June 6, and warned that Canadians will face “uneven access” to doctor-assisted death if it isn’t. MPs will now vote on C-14 on Monday and Tuesday, after which it will be passed to the Senate. Trudeau two years ago severed ties with all Liberal senators, and has since appointed a number of independent senators. “But I’ve heard from many medical practitioners and organizations who are very concerned that what it’s going to result in is very uneven access the country,” Trudeau said.
