PDF Version: Inter-Provincial Recognition of Substitute Decision-Making Documents: Personal Directives
Report Commented On: Alberta Law Reform Institute, Inter-Provincial Recognition of Substitute Decision-Making Documents: Personal Directives, Final Report 113
A little over a year ago, I wrote a post about the Alberta Law Reform Institute’s (ALRI) project on the inter-provincial recognition of substitute decision-making documents. This was an implementation project, which means that it looked at whether sample, uniform legislation already researched and drafted by the Uniform Law Conference of Canada (ULCC) was suitable for enactment in Alberta.
At the time of that post, ALRI recommended that the ULCC’s uniform legislation should be implemented in Alberta, with some minor amendments. We also sought feedback on our preliminary recommendations for reform. Unfortunately, the consultation results did not support our preliminary recommendations and, as a result, ALRI is not in a position to make any final proposals. Instead, Final Report 113 summarizes the project’s consultation process and results, and highlights any policy alternatives or additional issues that may deserve further exploration and analysis.
