A Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veteran says she is aware of at least 20 veterans who have been offered unsolicited medical assistance in dying (MAID) by Veterans Affairs, which is higher than the four cases the department has publicly acknowledged.
CAF veteran and performance coach Kelsi Sheren told MPs on the House of Commons veterans affairs committee that she has evidence that “over 20 veterans have confirmed being offered MAID.”
