A group of veterans is preparing a class-action lawsuit against the federal government alleging that Veterans Affairs Canada inappropriately offered or directed them toward medical assistance in dying (MAID).
Lawyer Catherine Christensen is spearheading the proposed class action amid growing reports from veterans who say Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) personnel suggested MAID in calls or written communications while they were seeking support or treatment for unrelated issues including PTSD and traumatic brain injuries.
