Canadian Backer of Bill to Legalize Assisted Suicide Postpones Debate to 2010 MP Francine Lalonde apparently needs more time to gather votes for her bill to legalize assisted suicide as the member of the Canadian Parliament has postponed the debate on her legislation a third time. The bill, C-384, was originally scheduled for a debate and vote last week. Not having enough votes, Lalonde initially moved her legislation back to December. Now, Alex Schadenberg of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition tells LifeNews.com that the new scheduled date for the debate on C-384 is Tuesday, February 2 of next year — with a vote the following day.
