Dear David,

Thank you for your recent correspondence outlining your opposition to the legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide as proposed by Bill C-384.  This Bill was put forward by Bloc Québécois MP, Francine Lalonde who has proposed similar Private Members' Bills in previous sessions of Parliament.

Like you, and virtually every constituent who took the time to weigh in on this issue, I am strongly opposed to this Bill.  I will certainly vote against it or any similar future Bill.  We need to promote measures that increase the quality of life for people who experience difficult life circumstances, and not introduce measures that threaten their very existence.

Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns on this important matter, and for your support.  Please know that your continued advocacy on life and family issues - with all three levels of government - is extremely important.

I would also suggest you make your concerns known to the Bill's sponsor.  You can write to her, postage free, at:  Francine Lalonde, MP, Room 211, Justice Building, House of Commons, Ottawa, ON  K1A 0A6.

Regards,

Mike Lake, M.P.
Edmonton - Mill Woods - Beaumont
Parliamentary Secretary for the Minister of Industry

Hello Mike,
I hope you are having a good Sunday with your family. Our Archbishop Richard Smith, is urging all Catholics to speak up against this incomprehensible private members bill. I sincerely hope you plan to be in parliament that day, speak up against it, and vote for life as any good Christian should. I have faith in you, which is why I voted for you. I will pray for all politicians today.

Best Regards,
David Wehage
