In Quebec, similar legislation had been introduced six months earlier. This legislation allows Canadians aged 18 and over, who are mentally capable and suffering from serious and irreversible health problems, to have access to medical assistance in dying. It also provides for follow-up access to palliative care for those who need it.   <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>August 2017<\/strong>: The provinces and territories adopted a statement of shared principles on health priorities, which highlights the need to improve access to home and community care, including palliative care.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>December 2017<\/strong>: Parliament passed the Act to Develop a National Palliative Care Framework to harmonize and improve access to palliative care in Quebec and other provinces.
