Quebec Life Coalition

 FYI, this is very big:

On December 5 2009, the National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion to create a select committee on dyig with dignity. You are invited to participate in the major public debate the Parliament of Quebec will be holding this year as part of the Select Committee's mandate.

Beginning in late summer, the Select Committee will hold public hearings on dying with dignity, travelling to 11 towns and cities of Québec to meet with the public.

Voice your opinion on the various issues surrounding the question, including end-of-life care, euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Three ways to take part:

1) Submit a brief (any written document) by July 16th 2010

2) Send a request to be heard (by individuals only) by July 16th 2010

3) Complete the online questionnaire

The Committee will select the individuals and organizations it wishes to hear during the public hearings to be held in the following towns and cities:

Baie-Comeau, Gatineau, Gaspé, Montréal, Québec, Rimouski, Rouyn-Noranda, Saguenay, Saint-Jérôme, Sherbrooke and Trois-Rivières.
