Each Week our Parliament Hill Reporter Cormac Mac Sweeney sits down with the Maclean’s Ottawa Bureau to interview some of the key political players over the last week in politics.
On this week’s show…
The co-chair of the assisted dying committee discusses the recommendations given to the government, including allowing access for people with a mental illness, and eventually mature minors.
The Maclean’s team looks deeper into the issue examining the reaction from the opposition, looking at the ethical and legal dilemmas faced by doctors and even hearing about religious objections.
Shachi Kurl, Executive Director of the Angus Reid Institute, looks over polling numbers to talk about how Canadians are feeling about the large deficit the Liberals will post in the upcoming budget.
Also on the show, the Maclean’s Panel looks at the state of the Conservative Party and tees up next week’s first ministers meeting in Vancouver.
