I'm assuming the time zone is EST, thus 9:30 am EST?

This is so absurd that Canada would allow mass medical suicide . As a 4th Generation Canadian - my Ancestors would be appalled at this Government!
The good book states ‘ Thou shall not Kill ‘. Those who approved medically assistant suicide Will answer to a higher authority.
