Saskatoon man calls for changes to assisted dying law
David Dunn seeks federal reform after his wife Cecilia Chmura died by ingesting a mix of drugs and alcohol in their Saskatoon apartment. Chmura, 59, suffered two decades of fibromyalgia with escalating pain, prompting debate over access to medically assisted death. Health Canada says no expansion planned. Dying with Dignity Canada argues the law excludes those with severe chronic illness. The couple planned to spread her ashes at Otter Rapids after canoeing together for years.
