(Quebec) Rarely, the Legault government has given the green light to advance an opposition bill, that of Liberal MP André Fortin aimed at establishing a presumption of consent to organ or tissue donation after death .
“If the bill is passed, in Quebec, organ and tissue donation would be presumed at the time of your death. There would still be beacons around that. If we would like to notify the refusal, we would only have to sign the health insurance card. So it’s exactly the opposite of the process that is in place at the moment,” explained Mr. Fortin when tabling his legislative text earlier this year.
According to him, such a measure has increased the number of organ donations by almost 40% in Nova Scotia.
On the last day of the session on Friday, the National Assembly voted in favor of adopting the principle of the bill, which could thus be studied in a parliamentary committee this fall.
