I would go a little broader than that. They never recognized a right period, but they did leave it open for Parliament to determine if such a right would be...If Parliament chose to engage and determine such a right, that's in Parliament's power to do so, and not just with regard to advance directives but with regard to the whole notion of euthanasia and assisted suicide.
As I indicated before, the actual effect of the Supreme Court ruling was not to confer a positive substantive right to any individual to access assisted suicide or euthanasia. On the contrary, the Supreme Court determined that the existing prohibitions under the Criminal Code of Canada, to the extent that they did not provide for a level of exception with regard to the people the court identified as having irremediable conditions that led to a pronounced and prolonged level of suffering and difficulty...that those people should nevertheless be then not subject to the Criminal Code blanket prohibition against assisted suicide and culpable homicide.
