It angers a coalition of twelve churches (including Anglicans, Catholics, Baptists and Mennonites). It angers Jewish rabbis. It also angers a host of social workers and previously non-regulated people such as naturopaths and other private counseling groups. The new legislation includes Bill 43, [...]
One cannot but have the greatest sympathy for Nancy B, the 25 year-old quadriplegic in a Quebec City hospital, who is paralyzed from the neck down due to Guillian-Barré syndrome.
