Dying With Dignity Canada supports calls for increased investments into supports for people living with disabilities, including those targeted at enhancing income and social supports, reducing waiting lists for housing, specialist care, day programs and assistive devices, and assisting with the navigation of a complex and confusing health care system.

A 2023 Ipsos poll showed that 83% of persons with a disability support the right to medical assistance in dying.
