Each week, the Maclean’s Ottawa bureau sits down with Cormac Mac Sweeney to discuss the headlines of the week. This week, an opioid crisis. Lawmakers and healthcare professionals gathered in Ottawa to find a strategy to deal with a disturbing rise in overdose deaths in Canada. Health Minister Jane Philpott joins the show to speak about what government can do—and whether or not she will declare a national public health emergency.
It appears Canada’s new assisted-dying law is confusing both doctors and patients, to the point where some are still leaving the country to seek medical help in dying. We hear from a family that was stuck in that position, as Maclean’s associate editor Shannon Proudfoot explains the problems with a vague section of the law.
This week Prime Minister Justin Trudeau named Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault as a special adviser on LGBTQ2 issues. Boissonnault joins us to discuss one of his first priorities: working towards a formal apology to the community for decades of institutional and social discrimination.
Finally, Maclean’s honoured some of the best of the best in the House of Commons with our annual Parliamentarians of the Year Awards. We’ll speak with some of the MPs who took home the hardware, and chat with the winner of the ceremony’s lifetime achievement award.
