The federal government will take "inspiration" from Quebec's legislation on doctor-assisted death as it crafts new federal laws around the emotionally charged issue, says a spokesman for the prime minister. Olivier Duchesneau said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appreciates the "incredible work" done by Quebec's National Assembly on the issue, and praised Quebec parliamentarians for putting partisanship aside to reach consensus.
