Euthanasia is already legal in Canada and will be used more openly as a way to rid the crumbled healthcare system of excess elderly whose savings no longer benefit the government.
Why bother listing recommendations to prevent further murders of the elderly (something that should have been stopped ages ago) at this point?:
Wettlaufer didn't kill her elderly charges because of money. She did so because she had no respect for life in its advanced stages. No money will cure a social ill like that.

Only when Wettlaufer confessed to the murders – and to trying to kill four other vulnerable people in her care, and assaulting two others – did her deadly crime spree, carried out silently with lethal insulin injections, come to light.
It sent her to prison, with no chance of parole for 25 years.
Missed or overlooked long before then, however, were early warning flags, including a firing months into her first job at a northern Ontario hospital, suspicions of drug abuse and theft and, tellingly, another firing by the Woodstock home where she killed seven people, only to go on to another home in London where she found her final victim.
Some of the answers are expected, finally, Wednesday, with the final report due out of a public inquiry into Ontario’s long-term care system that was called in the fallout of Wettlaufer’s crimes.
Recommendations to improve the long-term care system are expected. But it will be up to the province – whose oversight has been found lacking before – to decide how it will apply the report to a long-term care system many say is desperately under-funded and under-staffed.
