Baby Jose returns to Alberta nearly 30 years after life-saving surgery.

Inclusion Alberta joins our national partner, Inclusion Canada, in welcoming the Government of Canada's announcement that Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) will not be expanded to people whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness. 🧵1/3
Inclusion Canada welcomes today’s announcement by Canada's Justice Minister @SeanFraserMP that medical assistance in dying (MAiD) will stay closed indefinitely to people whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness.
However, we strongly oppose the government’s plan to also permit advance requests, which would allow MAiD to be given to someone who cannot consent at the time.
For more information, here is a link to our media release.

While this is an important step, we are deeply concerned by the gov's plan to introduce legislation permitting advance requests for MAiD. With Inclusion Canada, we urge Parliament to reject this proposal. 2/3

Inclusion Alberta is pleased by the Government of Alberta’s decision to ensure that couples where both partners receive provincial disability benefits such as AISH or ADAP receive their full benefit entitlement. 🧵1/3
ALT Alberta government restores full benefits for couples receiving AISH or ADAP
This move reverses one of the recent changes, the reduction of benefits for couples where both partners receive disability assistance, leaving each person with only 88 per cent of their full benefit entitlement. 2/3
This announcement is a positive step. Our hope is that moving forward the government listens and responds to concerns raised by Albertans affected most by these program changes.
