It is not too late to speak up in support of Alberta legislation\nto protect the conscience rights of physicians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For details on Bill 207: Conscience Rights (Health Care Providers) Protection Act (Williams), and why this issue is so significant, see my recent editorial in The Lawyer\u2019s Daily<\/a>. For background on the troubling Ontario court decisions that inspired this bill, see my pieces published in Convivium<\/a> and the National Post<\/a>. Attached, you may also read a letter sent to all Alberta MLAs regarding the Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although a committee voted against Bill 207 continuing to Second Reading, the motion is not binding; it is only a recommendation. The Bill was reported to the Assembly<\/a> Tuesday afternoon, and according to the Hansard for the report<\/a>, it will proceed to a debate<\/strong> on a motion for concurrence with the Committee recommendation. The Order Papers<\/a> indicate that MLAs will have an opportunity to speak to Bill 207 on Monday, December 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please consider sending an email or making a phone call to your MLA (contact info here<\/a>) to express your support for the bill. There’s still time to urge our elected officials to stand up<\/strong> in defense of our fundamental freedoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
