However, even this is too much power in the hands of doctors and other medical personnel. One might suggest: “Is it possible to establish a rigorous system in Canada that is highly selective about who can donate and who is entitled to treatment?” The events that occurred in Belgium, however, are enough to reject this idea. In Belgium, it is illegal for nurses to perform euthanasia, but a 2010 survey in the northern region of Flanders showed that 12 percent of nurses performed euthanasia. The vast majority did so even without the presence of a doctor nearby. In cases where the patient never specifically asked for euthanasia, in 45% of cases we carried it out by nurses. The current law in Belgium on who can and cannot administer the deadly drugs is being violated. Likewise, laws in the Netherlands are also ignored. Euthanasia is technically still prohibited today, according to articles 293 and 294 of the Dutch Criminal Code. However, through various court decisions, many doctors have circumvented these articles and are allowed to perform euthanasia if they follow the guidelines. One of which is: “The request for death must be voluntary”. However, a study conducted by Remmelink Report revealed that 1,040 people died from involuntary euthanasia in 1991. The failure to enforce doctors' compliance within the bounds of the law is one of the reasons why Quebec's recent euthanasia law was questioned. The new law, which will come into force in December 2015, will legalize euthanasia in Quebec. This law not only violates Articles 7 (life, liberty and security of the person) and 15 (equality rights) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but is also outside provincial jurisdiction. This was stated by the Coalition for the Prevention of Euthanasia on Quebec
