00:00In Lanodier, Quebec, an $8 million state-of-the-art palliative care facility has officially opened and it's not just about comfy rooms and artful decor.
00:12This centre is designed with growing demand in mind offering comprehensive end-of-life services including medical assistance in dye-in or MAID which now plays a role in over 12% of deaths in the region.
00:27Sonia Belanger, the Minister for Seniors, emphasized that as Quebec ages with more than 2 million people, over 65 demand for palliative, home and hospital care as well as MAID will only rise in the coming years.
00:44This news isn't just a facility opening, it's a mirror to societal shifts where dignity at life's final chapter increasingly includes the choice of how it ends.
