"I think the starting point for me is that we still don't have the best elderly care and palliative care yet," Ambrose told CBC. "So let's talk about making sure we have the best end-of-life care before we start talking about assisted suicide and euthanasia."

Ambrose's comments come at a time when Quebec has recently passed legislation to allow assisted suicide under the name of ‘medical aid in dying,' and the Supreme Court is about to hear a case that seeks to grant Canadians the right to kill themselves with assistance.
