Foothills MP John Barlow says the last weeks of the spring sitting in the House of Commons are going to be dominated by the assisted dying legislation now before the Senate.

Barlow says after a long battle, we could end up right back where we started.

"Well, I think it's going to end up back in the Supreme Court, in all honesty," he says. "I think because you're seeing such a division, not only in the House of Commons but within the Senate, you have some of us who are working very hard to try and ensure the safeguards are there to protect the most vulnerable, we want to make sure that doctor assisted dying, euthanasia, is the exception, not the norm, and I think that's a slippery slope that we are heading down if this becomes an acceptable part of our society."

He says the other side is trying to make this as broad and open as possible, so no matter what happens someone, at some point will challenge it again.

He says while the majority of Canadians support doctor assisted dying, the feedback he's gotten from his riding has been split.

Barlow has voted against the bill in all three readings so far because it doesn't contain anything about access to palliative care or provide protections for doctors who do not want to take part.
