Finally, patients diagnosed with a serious and incurable illness that will lead to incapacity can submit a request to their doctor.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8654958\" data-originallang=\"fr\">However, doctors are still worried about the lack of legal protection because this government is cowardly and refuses to amend the Criminal Code. The Liberals are playing a dangerous game, one that is hurting both patients and doctors worried about potential lawsuits.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8654959\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will the Prime Minister show some humanity and amend the Criminal Code without further delay to allow advance requests, as proposed in Bill <a data-HoCid=\"13099542\" href=\"/bills/44-1/C-390/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (provincial medical assistance in dying framework)\">C\u2011390</a>?</p>",
