Dying With Dignity Canada lobbies government 138 times and counting

Dying with Dignity, who make millions in donations every year, uses these millions to lobby the government -- 138 times to date. They do this lobbying to increase the number of people who are euthanized every year. They are in an exclusive relationship with the government, repeatedly meeting with ministers, while those ministers never meet with organizations opposed to killing people

No wonder Canada has a reputation for the most euthanasia friendly country in the world.

Only the pro-deathers get to meet with ministers, why is that?

As we already know, Dying with Dignity lobbies the government pretty much non-stop. They also repeatedly meet with Ministers of government. DWDC has met with the ministers of at least three different government departments (Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Justice and Health), sometimes multiple times with the department in question.

So I wondered. Have any of the main groups opposed to the "poisoning lobby" (thanks to Alec Primc from the Voice for the Children and Family Party of Slovenia for this apt description of euthanasia) also meet with any ministers? I checked out the Lobbyist database to see who was lobbying government against poisoning Canadians. There were five organizations. So I asked the Department of Justice:

Please provide the names of the people from the listed organizations below who have met with the Minister of Justice (and or his or her representative) regarding MAID, and the dates and details of those meetings, including who was present at these meetings. Dates from June 2016 to February 27, 2026: Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada. EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP OF CANADA. Christian Reformed churches in Canada (CRCNA Canada Corporation). Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. Christian Medical and Dental Society of Canada, and any other religious organization.

The response I received:

I regret to inform you that a search of the records under the control of the Department of Justice Canada has revealed none relating to the subject of your request. 

I submitted the same ATIP to Health Canada. Although there was one meeting identified with ARPA, it was not with the Minister of Health.

So the only voices the ministers of Justice and Health listen to when it comes to killing its citizens by poisoning them, are the people who advocate for, and not those opposed to, killing people by lethal injection. That sounds awfully biased to me.

Dying with Dignity meets the Minister of Justice - of course they do

"I would like to start by thanking Dying with Dignity Canada for the role your organization has played in relation to medical assistance in dying(or MAID) in Canada."

How pathetic is that? Congratulating the euthanasia cult in Canada.

From an ATIP to the Minister of Justice. The Minister is briefed on his upcoming meeting with Dying with Dignity on July 9, 2025:

"Title: Meeting of the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice with Dying with Dignity Canada

Overview

You have a meeting with Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC) on July 9, 2025. DWDC wants to meet to discuss how the Government can support the legalization of advance requests to receive medical assistance in dying (MAID) and the role that DWDC can play. Proposed talking points are attached at Annex 1.

DWDC is a human-rights charity committed to improving quality of dying, protecting end-of-life rights, and helping people avoid unwanted suffering. It is one of the largest pro-MAID advocacy groups in Canada and advocates for the expansion of MAID regarding advance requests, mental illness, and mature minors. DWDC have submitted briefs and testified before Parliamentary committees on the various bills and studies concerning MAID.

Background

Federal MAID Framework

On June 17, 2016, MAID was legalized in Canada for persons whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable through former Bill C-14, after the Supreme Court of Canada held in Carter v Canada (2015) that the criminal laws prohibiting assistance in dying were unconstitutional. Sections 241.1-241.4 of the Criminal Code now outline eligibility criteria and safeguards, while amendments to sections 227, 241 and 245 provide exemptions from offences such as homicide, where all of the eligibility criteria and safeguards are satisfied.

In 2019, the Superior Court of Quebec declared the requirement that natural death be reasonably foreseeable to be unconstitutional(Truchon). This decision declared the MAID framework at that time unconstitutional, stating the “reasonable foreseeability of natural death” criterion violates section 7 of the Charter for being too restrictive. The Attorney General of Canada did not appeal this decision and instead made the policy choice to expand eligibility for MAID. The eligibility for MAID was expanded to persons whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable through former Bill C-7, which received royal assent on March 17, 2021. Former Bill C-7 also temporarily excluded persons whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness from eligibility for MAID. Per former Bill C-7’s coming into force provisions, this exclusion outlined in subsection 1(2.1) was originally set to be repealed on the second anniversary of the coming into force of the bill, March 17, 2023. On March 9, 2023, through former Bill C-39, this was extended by one year to three years from the coming into force of former BillC-7. It was once again extended a further three years (for a total of six years from the coming into force of former Bill C-7) through former Bill C-62, until March 17, 2027. Bill C- 62 included a section that requires a joint parliamentary committee to undertake a comprehensive review relating to the eligibility for MAID of persons whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness that must commence by February 28, 2026. There has been criticism from stakeholders on the delay of the repeal of subsection 1(2.1)

MAID and Advance Requests

An advance request refers to situations where a person requests MAID before they are eligible and before they want to receive it and outlines the circumstances under which they would want to receive MAID, in the future, if such circumstances arise after they lose capacity. This is different than the waiver of final consent that permits a person whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable and who has been approved for MAID but risks losing capacity before the date on which MAID is scheduled to be provided to waive the requirement for final consent. Under federal law, this is the only circumstance under which MAID may be lawfully provided to a person who does not have capacity. The provision of MAID based on an advance request is not permitted under the Criminal Code.

MAID is a matter of shared jurisdiction. The criminal law aspect falls under the responsibility of the federal government while the health care aspect, including its implementation, falls under the responsibility of the provinces and territories. On June 7, 2023, the National Assembly of Quebec passed Bill 11, An Act to amend the Act respecting end-of-life care and other legislative provisions, which amended Quebec’s end-of-life law to permit the provision of MAID based on an advance request in the province. This is not permitted under the Criminal Code and so a practitioner in Quebec who provides MAID in accordance with Quebec’s law would commit a criminal offence (murder).

The previous Health and Justice ministers said publicly that the federal government would not initiate a challenge regarding the constitutionality of Quebec’s law, but that it remains a criminal offence to provide MAID based on an advance request. The previous government undertook a national conversation on advance requests from November 2024 to February 2025 to better understand the perceptions and views of people in Canada. Health Canada is expected to publish a report on key findings from the national conversation.

Talking Points

Meeting with Dying with Dignity Canada

•I would like to start by thanking Dying with Dignity Canada for the role your organization has played in relation to medical assistance in dying(or MAID) in Canada.

•The Government of Canada is committed to working with all partners and stakeholders to ensure that our MAID Laws reflect Canadians’ evolving needs, protect those who may be vulnerable, and support autonomy and freedom of choice.

•I am interested to hear your perspectives given the on-the-ground expertise your membership brings to this complex and deeply personal issue."

Dying with Dignity's lucrative death business

In 2024 Dying with Dignity Canada had $9,231,137 in assets, of which $7,370,174 was in long term investments. They have so much of their money in these long term investments that clearly they don't need those funds to run their day to day business, so they invest them. They made $752,804 in interest on those long-term investments and an additional $3,038,792 in donations in 2024. 

Dying with Dignity aggressively fund raises because (unbelievably) there's still lots more money people want to give them. And because they are a charity, they do not pay federal income tax on their earnings. 

Truly the euthanasia business is a very very successful business model.

Dying with Dignity attacks conscience rights

Dear Health Minister Marjorie Michel and Justice Minister Sean Fraser,

I am writing to you to tell you that I am appalled at Dying with Dignity's court challenge to end forced transfer for medical assistance in dying. DWDC argues that https://www.dyingwithdignity.ca/advocacy/institutional-religious-obstructions/

"Individual clinicians have the right to object, for conscience reasons, to providing MAID or other medical treatments. The issue of IROs is not about the objection of clinicians, but that of institutions, which do not have conscience rights."

Bollocks. Institutions are made up of individual people. These individual people work in these institutions because they share the values of the institution. In this case it means that the health care providers at the institution must have their conscience rights protected. 

Dying with Dignity uses their millions in donations to fight against the conscience rights of people who are against participating in the evil of state sanctioned euthanasia. They have the money to lobby government (and they do so incessantly) and are hell bent on forcing these institutions to be involved in this killing. This is diabolical. 

Our government must protect the conscience rights of these health care providers at all of our hospitals to not commit MAID. IT is the ethical and moral thing to do.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

National Association of Federal Retirees hosts webinar from Dying with Dignity

Dear National Association of Federal Retirees,

I just wanted you to know how upsetting it was to see that the Association of Federal Retirees is promoting a seminar from Dying with Dignity about MAID. I am against euthanizing people. It is an immoral and unethical action to kill people who are ill, instead of providing them with compassionate care and or palliative care to help them in their final days.

Dying with Dignity pushes their death agenda onto Canadians by using donations from Canadians to lobby government into pushing for more and more greater use of MAID. 

Even the UN has spoken out against our horrific MAID regime:

Unsuspecting vulnerable members may attend the webinar without realizing that Dying with Dignity is the major advocate of euthanasia in this country, and that this webinar will most certainly discuss MAID.

I hope that you will reconsider hosting this webinar from Dying with Dignity, and instead provide access to another provider.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

When talking about MAID: "I absolutely love data"

Here is the final part of my most recent ATIP regarding Dying With Dignity. 

The friendly, chummy, cozy relationship between Health Canada and DWDC is on full display in these 75 pages of the document where we see all the back and forth between the two about a webinar that Health Canada does for the pro-deathers. In particular this webinar has the Senior Analyst, Strategic Policy of the End of Life Care unit of Health Canada presenting data on MAID.

After the webinar the Health Canada analyst tells the pro-deathers how she just LOVES data. Remember, we are talking about data concerning the people in Canada who have been killed by euthanasia. 

And the senior analyst looks forward to doing it again next year. So fun.

Subject: Re: Presenter status

Hello,

Thank you so much to you for joining us today. XXXXX and XXXXX let me know that they could barely keep up with the rapid-fire questions from our audience, that's how engaging the session was today! In total, we had 411 attendees during the session. The numbers fluctuate slightly for technical issues or folks that join/leave, but we evened out at about 400.

I just wanted to say thank you both for such a fantastic webinar. Your insights, expertise, and enthusiasm was infectious throughout the session. Have a look at some of our feedback:

  • Very interesting and valuable information. This data will be so important when our politicians are tasked with the potential upcoming legislation.
  • An excellent overview of the data which has encouraged me to now go and read the full report.
  • Annette's love of data and her passion was evident throughout. Thank you to both presenters - nice to see a colleague, Blain, building and adding to the Q&A. It is about evolution of data and getting this info out to dispel myths.
  • This has been a first-class presentation in every way. The slides were so very good and easy to understand and great, easy-to-listen-to speakers. Thank you so much.

I know I speak for all of us here at DWDC when I say that it has been a privilege to work with you from start to finish, and that we at DWDC would be delighted to keep in touch for future collaborations, perhaps when the next Annual Report is published next year. I hope that you both have a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Dying with Dignity's chummy relationship with Health Canada continues

Dying with Dignity is way too friendly with the Department of Health, including the many Ministers of Health. Bureaucrats bend over backwards to make sure that Ministers meet with Helen Long and her pro-death organization. It's really creepy if you ask me.

In this memo below, "there is no specific topic of discussion" for this meeting request from Dying with Dignity, yet the meeting will still go ahead. DWDC just asks for a meeting with the Minister and bingo, they get it. Just like that. Nothing specific to talk about. Why does this pro-death bunch get to have the ear of the Health Minister whenever they want to? Do those opposed to MAID also get a meeting with the Minister whenever they want to? I doubt it.

SUBJECT - OBJET

Minister Saks' Office Request: PS Fisher to meet Dying with Dignity Canada

REQUEST - DEMANDE (YYYY-MM-DD)

(1)Date 2023-09-25

SPB:

Minister Saks has delegated an introductory meeting with Dying with Dignity Canada to Parliamentary Secretary Fisher the week of Sept 25th. Time and date are TBC and there is no specific topic of discussion. However, should it be helpful for context, a recent meeting request (23-007471-535) is attached. When assessing the meeting request for the Minister, SPB recommended that the meeting take place with the following rationale: DWDC is a key stakeholder that supports MAID and aims to provide clear and factual information to Canadians about MAID, the legislation, the process and providing supports and resources to people who wish to know more and who wish to access MAID.

DWDC is an advocacy group and does want to see a broader MAID and end of life regime in Canada that it believes aligns with the Canadian Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In meeting with this organization, the Minister could learn about relevant ‘on the ground’ views on system and clinician preparedness for the lifting of the mental illness exclusion clause on March 17, 2024. The organization is also focussing [sic] advocacy efforts calling for the Government [to] expand legislation again to allow for advance requests for MAID. Quebec recently passed amendments to its provincial MAID legislation to put in place an advance request regime for MAID in the next 2 years (which is not in alignment with current federal law). The Minister may wish to listen to their thoughts on this kind of further expansion

Please prepare a Memo to the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions [Note: This position was abolished in March 2025. Thank you Mark Carney.] for a meeting, points to register and a bio (this may include updating a recent note). Also please identify an individual to participate in a pre-brief as well as the meeting.

Kindly submit the requested materials and confirmation of participant[s] to MBU by Sept 27, at 4:00. Templates attached. Should contacts for Input from other areas of the Health Portfolio be required, kindly let us know.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next we have the memo to Minister Saks about this upcoming meeting. It is a nine (9) page memo. Summary of memo below:

MEMORANDUM TO THE MINISTER OF MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTIONS AND ASSOCIATE MINISTER OF HEALTH Meeting with Dying with Dignity Canada / Reunion avec Dying with Dignity Canada

SUMMARY

• Your office has accepted a request to meet with Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC). Parliamentary Secretary Fisher will meet with Helen Long, Chief Executive Officer, DWDC during the week of September 25th.

• DWDC is a national human-rights charity committed to improving [the] quality of dying, protecting end-of-life rights, and helping people across Canada avoid unwanted suffering.

• Health Canada has had many interactions with DWDC over the past number of years. While they have been strong supporters of Government of Canada MAID policy, they have also been critical of the lack of progress in areas such advance requests.

• Points to Register are included in Appendix A and a biography of CEO Helen Long is included in Appendix B.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will be happy to know that DWDC's office is still located on Canada's Indigenous peoples' land. I guess that means they still haven't given said land back to the Indigenous people.

Dying With Dignity Canada's national office is located within Treaty 13, the traditional home of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Our presence on this land is not to be taken for granted. We are grateful for the opportunity to share, meet, collaborate, live, and work on this land.

How is killing people harm reduction?

Boom. Right out of the gate. My most recent ATIP to Health Canada regarding Dying with Dignity identified this email below on page 1. 

(Note: It took Health Canada a whopping 23 months for them to actually release this information that I requested.)

Sent: 2023-05-06 1:08 PM

To: Jacauie Lemaire (HC/SC).

Subject: Paper we discussed

Attachments: wiebe 2023 MAID and social problems.pdf

Hi Jacquie,

Nice to see you this weekend. Here is the paper that was recently published which I mentioned today.

Take care,

Helen

So what do we see here? CEO Helen Long cozying up to the Senior Policy Advisor at Health Canada--on a weekend no less. It's bad enough that Dying with Dignity lobbies government non stop, now they are doing it on weekends too. 

Long sends her a copy of this "extended essay" called "Choosing Death in unjust conditions: hope autonomy and harm reduction".

This paper is six pages long and ties itself up into a pretzel trying to argue that people in unjust social circumstances can be autonomous when choosing MAID. It uses the term "harm reduction" ten times in the paper. It uses the word "hope" 31 times. 

I'm trying to figure out how killing people because they are in unjust social circumstances can be considered harm reduction and or hopeful. God help us.

I will be writing more about this ATIP in the coming days.

Dying with Dignity just can't lobby enough

Dying with Dignity is on a roll. They lobbied nine different bureaucrats/MPs at the end of October. This is in addition to all of their previous lobbying. Apparently it's impossible to lobby too much when it comes to killing Canadians.

  • Kristina Tesser-Derksen, Member of Parliament
  • Hedy Fry, Member of Parliament

Regulations for the Monitoring of MAID and changes to requirements. Statistical reporting and data collection issues in relation to MAID, Tracks 1 and 2. MAID curriculum or educational initiatives. Legislation and regulation regarding alternative therapies that can be incorporated at end-of-life such as psilocybin."

Fighting MAID - Priests must speak out against euthanasia

With a little help from AI: which countries perform the most euthanasia per capita?

  • The jurisdictions with the highest rates of euthanasia or physician-assisted dying (MAID) per capita are Canada and the Netherlands. Specifically, the Canadian province of Quebec reports the highest regional rate globally. 
    As a percentage of total deaths:
    • Quebec, Canada: Accounted for 6.8% of total deaths in a recent reporting period (April 2022-March 2023). In 2023, MAID accounted for 4.7% of all deaths across Canada.
    • Netherlands: Euthanasia and assisted suicide cases make up approximately 4.8% to over 5% of all deaths.
    • Belgium: The rate is around 2.3% of all deaths.
    • Switzerland: Assisted suicide accounts for approximately 1.5% to 2.3% of all deaths. 

From Priests for Life recent newsletter on what we Catholics and clergy need to do to counter the euthanasia lobby:

The euthanasia forces have a very clear program. Make killing not just available but make it socially acceptable, seen as a natural alternative and morally obligatory. Once a decision is made, it must not be discussed, but just accepted and lauded. 
...

I would challenge anyone reading this newsletter to realize that we must embark on several things at the same time, difficult though they may be. Firstly, our people are being educated by their front pages and newsfeeds. They are being bombarded by the pro-euthanasia campaign. We also need an engaging campaign teaching why suicide and being killed by physicians is wrong. This must be a sustained campaign - not just for one week or year. It must reach Catholics and non-practicing Catholics. 

Secondly, we must be very clear about fighting for the conscience rights of family members who are responsible for those who are weak and vulnerable. The conscience rights of our health care workers, the social necessity of protecting the weak and the vulnerable must be protected.

Thirdly, these are life and death situations. We need to educate our own priests and deacons to be leaders in this area and to militate for their own legal protections. The pro-death campaign is well on its way in our hospitals, hospices, and nursing homes. Is the pro-life campaign really up to responding? 

Fr. Tom Lynch (PFLC National President) 
Dying with Dignity obsessively lobbies the government. They receive millions in donations every year, yet they have the nerve to get funding from the Canada Summer jobs program, a program that pro-life organizations are ineligible to receive. 

All of us, clergy included, need to speak out publicly against Canada's evil euthanasia regime.

Dying with Dignity -- More government lobbying

It looks like Dying with Dignity has a new consultant lobbying Health Canada on their behalf: Puneet Luthra, Company is P S Luthra Consulting Inc.

Last year DWDC spent $213,171 on consulting fees. That's pocket change for them considering their total revenue was $3,791,596 and they had $7,370,174 in long term investments. No wonder they lobby government so much.



Subject Matter Details

Dying With Dignity Canada seeks to influence the Government of Canada to allow for advance requests for medical assistance in dying (MAID) for people who have a diagnosis of a grievous and irremediable medical condition. (from the lobbyist website)
