A Letter from the CWL of Canada to Justice Minister Peter MacKay on Physician Assisted Suicide.

On behalf of the national executive of The Catholic Women’s League of Canada, representing more than 85,000 members and citizens, I write to applaud you for continuing to uphold the value and respect for human life throughout the Carter v Canada (Attorney General) case and to appeal to you to continue to do so despite the ruling of the Supreme Court of Canada to strike down the Criminal Code provisions against physician assisted suicide. I write most importantly to ask that more time be given to the citizens of Canada to consider this life and death issue.
