Conscience Rights


Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott (Saskatoon/Wanuskewin), reintroduced his private members bill to protect the conscience rights of health care workers:

Introducing the bill in Parliament this afternoon, Vellacott said: "Mr. Speaker, the bill would prohibit coercion in medical procedures that offend a person's religion or belief that human life is inviolable. The bill seeks to ensure that health care providers will never be forced to participate against their will in procedures such as abortions or acts of euthanasia."
