Help Not Harm: Take Action to Support Bill C-218

Write your Member of Parliament Today! Visit HelpNotHarmCanada.ca

You’re invited to visit HelpNotHarmCanada.ca where you can e-mail your Member of Parliament (MP),
asking for their support of Bill C-218 (The Right to Recover Act),
which would amend the Criminal Code to prevent Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)
from being provided when mental illness is the sole underlying condition.

Without this change, MAiD will be available for those suffering from mental illness alone beginning in March 2027.
We are called to offer care, hope, and protection — not death — to those who are suffering and most vulnerable.

Visit HelpNotHarmCanada.ca today and ask your MP to support Bill C-218.

Cardinal Leo Writes to Prime Minister, MPs – “I ask you to choose life…”

Posted : Apr-20-2026

 

On April 20, 2026, Cardinal Leo wrote to Prime Minister Carney and all federal Members of Parliament (MPs) in the Archdiocese of Toronto asking for their support of Bill C-218 and decrying the rapid expansion of euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada. Bill C-218 is a private members’ bill currently before Parliament that would amend the Criminal Code to prevent Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) from being provided when mental illness is the sole underlying condition. Without this change, MAiD will be available for those suffering from mental illness alone beginning in March 2027.

The letters from His Eminence are closely aligned with the Help Not Harm campaign currently underway in the archdiocese and throughout Canada. Catholics are asked to contact their Member of Parliament by clicking here and asking them to support Bill C-218. The entire process takes less than three minutes. A vote on the legislation is expected by late May or early June 2026.

Together, let us foster a culture of life, care and compassion for all.
