"COMMUNIQUÉ”
We are pleased to announce the publication
of "Elder Law in Canada" by Allan Gold. Here are some comments from
experts who have reviewed this material:
| Carolyn Ells. Assistant Professor of Medicine and Member
of the Biomedical Ethics Unit, McGill University; Clinical Ethicist, Sir
Mortimer B. Davis, Jewish General Hospital:
“Elder Law in Canada is an excellent resource for Canadians, particularly
our elder citizens and those engaged in the services for them and on their
behalf. By bringing together the most relevant legislation and case law
from across Canada (and, on some topics, from around the world), with
comments, comparisons, principles, tips and conclusions from the author,
professionals, scholars, and thoughtful citizens, the Elder Law in Canada
is made accessible, comprehensible, and applicable. It is also made interesting! Healthcare
professionals, trainees and policy-makers will find the Part on Senior
Health extremely useful in their care of patients/clients of all ages.
Here they find answers to common questions about the law and consent or
refusal of treatment, malpractice, euthanasia, and health insurance and
health/social services network. I, too, shall keep my copy of Elder Law
in Canada close at hand.” (April 5th, 2005)

Lisa Boyle, Executive Director, La Passerelle Career Transition
Center:“Our society is rapidly changing due to shifting demographics and
as a results laws and legislation will also have to change. This material
provides a blue print for understanding how the law is interconnected
with social issues related to our aging demographics. I particularly liked
the check lists because I found that they helped operationalize legal
concepts into a workable format – practical application. The detail
and the collection information is exhaustive and will provide an excellent
reference guide. It is important to understand age (and other) diversity,
bias and know how to proceed.” (April 25th, 2005)

Serge Gauthier, MD, FRCPC Mcgill Centre for studies in Aging, Hôpital
Douglas Hospital (Verdun) :“I am starting to go through this remarkable book. Can you tell
me if it has been written by only one person?” (March 29, 2005)“The
mental health section was the most useful to me. I would recommend the
book to clinicians (psychiatrists, neurologists, geriatricians). The section
on mental health had an original and well balanced view from different
perspectives, not only from expert. Yes, the info (I focused on dementia)
was up to date and comprehensive. The current table of content and the
breakdown of chapters’ content make the book user friendly. Congratulations
on work well done. Will updates be possible?” (September 17th, 2005)

complexes, qui méritent d'être mieux connues.”
