The government of Quebec was unable to convince the opposition Liberal Party to complete debate on Bill 52, legislation to legalize euthanasia, in order to bring it to a vote before the Quebec National Assembly adjourned for two weeks. The government has tabled a budget, which takes precedence over other bills. It is believed that the government will call an election when the Assembly returns, which means that the euthanasia bill will not pass. It could be resurrected by a government formed after the election. [CBC News]
