Sarnia-Lambton Member of Parliament Marilyn Gladu has earned the congratulations for seeing her Private Member’s Bill—C-277—enacted into law.
The new legislation, also known as the “Framework on Palliative Care in Canada Act,” received Royal Assent on Tuesday, December 12, 2017.
Now that the law has been enacted, the federal government must come up with a cohesive national plan that will bridge provincial action with the effect of giving people who are dying the option of quality “end-of-life” care.
She explained the process that took place in order for the Private Member’s Bill to become law.
