Doctors objection to participating in MAID should not have them referring to doctors that will. A patient is fully capable of pursuing that themselves. As seen in other provinces, failure to protect current doctor rights will result in doctor shortages. A doctor that refuses to refer to MAID is not a liability to the patient, and many great doctors have serious misgivings about the program. Doctors should not be punished for protecting patient life.
