Call for Conscience Campaign
A physician is not required to provide euthanasia or assisted suicide. However, the current legislation requires an effective referral - physicians and health care providers who do not provide euthanasia are required to refer a patient to a provider who will carry out assisted suicide or euthanasia. This effective referral renders them morally complicit and accordingly - culpable which does not respect their conscience. If the health care provider/physician does not provide an effective referral, they will be disciplined by their Licensing College up to and including the loss of their license to practice. Many religious faiths are concerned about this implication for physicians/health care providers who adhere to a religious faith which does not condone or support euthanasia. For this reason, the Catholic Bishops of Ontario (ACBO) have joined with other faith leaders to support the Call for Conscience Campaign 2018.

Priests for Life - Canada
Priests for Life has come to signify two distinct but related movements within the wider pro-life movement.
On one level, as described below, Priests for Life refers to a very specific effort to galvanize the clergy to preach, teach, and mobilize their people more effectively in the effort to end abortion and euthanasia.
On another level, Priests for Life represents a family of ministries that reach and enrich every aspect of the pro-life movement, for clergy and laity alike, in a wide variety of activities. This has come to pass precisely because priests are not ordained for themselves, but for the people. So in activating clergy, all the segments of the Church, the pro-life movement, and the wider society are activated in the defense of life.
