That's a separate problem from the parent post, and the point of my post was that her husband requested the decision on the assisted death, not the government.
The government is responsible for funding every aspect of this process, though. It regulates the controls and rubrics over who gets what kind of care. The husband may have instigated it, but the system is broken if a person eligible for euthanasia isn't eligible for palliative care or hospice.
Most importantly, I continue to contend that MAID is turning into something that isn't what Canadians voted for. It is, however, turning into something that its opponents feared might come to pass.
Separately, why do these services have to move so quickly? It seems like it’s either glacially slow in other countries where people pass before even finishing the paperwork, or insanely fast like in this case. There really should be a balance.
