Albertans divided on MAID, respondents say province doesn’t need to impose more safety measures: Survey results

Alberta

survey results show Albertans are divided on the issue of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). The provincial government conducted a survey to gather public opinion on MAID and whether additional safeguards are needed1. The results indicate that opinions are split, with some Albertans feeling that the current safeguards are sufficient, while others believe more protections are necessary, especially for vulnerable populations such as those with mental health challenges or disabilities.

The government is considering changes to the MAID program, including the possibility of a second oversight agency and a dispute mechanism for families. However, no official proposals have been made yet2.
