Canadian military veterans are outraged after a Veteran Affairs Canada (VAC) worker offered medically assisted death to a former soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and brain injuries.
Multiple sources tell Global News the combat veteran never raised the issue, nor was he looking for Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) and was deeply disturbed by the suggestion. Multiple sources and VAC have told Global News that the discussion took place.
In this exclusive story, Mercedes Stephenson has the VAC's response, and the fears this will discourage other veterans seeking help.
