Cost estimate for Bill C-7 "Medical assistance in dying".: YN5-206/2020E-PDF
"Bill C-7 aims to expand access to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for patients whose death is not expected in the relative near term. At the request of a Senator, this report presents an independent cost estimate of Bill C-7 for 2021 by providing a breakdown between the baseline costs under the current legislation (Bill C-14) and the incremental costs from expanding eligibility in the proposed legislation (Bill C-7). Note that while the criminal code is under the jurisdiction of Parliament, health care delivery is a provincial responsibility. Therefore, most of the financial impacts of providing MAID are borne by provincial governments"--Executive summary, page 1.
