A complaint was lodged with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario on October 10, 2026, regarding remarks made by an MP who also practices medicine. The MP asserted that fentanyl is a painless and readily available option for medical assistance in dying, and the filing claims the statements could violate medical professional standards.
The regulatory complaint follows the MP's suggestion that illicit drugs such as fentanyl might be used to end a person's life, prompting the College to assess whether the comments breach professional conduct rules.
