Abstract
Analysis of a recent constitutional lawsuit by religious doctors against the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. When a doctor refuses to offer medical assistance in dying for religious or conscientious reasons, the College requires the objector to give the patient an effective so that the patient can receive the procedure from another accessible doctor. The religious doctors say that the College's forced referral has unjustifiably taken away their religious freedom under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I argue that the College's approach is justifiable under the Charter, but should still be revised to better accommodate religious freedom.
