The Ontario government passed legislation on Tuesday that supports the implementation of doctor-assisted suicide.
It addresses areas of the law that fall under provincial jurisdiction, filling in gaps that were left by Federal lawmakers when Canada's rules on legalized euthanasia were passed last year.
The new rules ensure insurance pay-out and workplace benefits for patients of doctor-assisted death, and their loved ones.
It also provides protection from civil liability to doctors and nurse practitioners who perform the procedure.
The Ministry of Health will also set up what it calls a 'care co-ordination service' that essentially allows patients and care-givers to work around a healthcare profession who might conscientiously object to perform assisted-death procedures.
Records from the Ministry show that in the 9 months after Canada legalized euthanasia in June 2016, more than 360 people have died with the help of a doctor.
