REGINA — Saskatchewan’s health minister says he will be closely watching Nova Scotia as the province moves forward with a plan to introduce automatic consent for organ donation.<\/p>\n

Nova Scotia announced legislation this week that would have all residents be potential organ donors unless they opted out.<\/p>\n

It’s believed Nova Scotia would be the first jurisdiction in North America to adopt the measure.<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan Health Minister Jim Reiter said his office has requested to speak with his counterpart in Nova Scotia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intent all along is to move in that direction,\u201d he said Wednesday, adding it has been slow going.<\/p>\n

Brad Wall expressed support for introducing presumed consent while he was still Saskatchewan premier in 2016.<\/p>\n

Reiter said the province needed to take other steps first, such as creating an organ donor registry and getting more doctors to encourage organ donation.<\/p>\n

The 2019 budget includes money to create a registry.<\/p>\n

The province has not closed the door on an opt-out system, but there are potential legal issues, he said.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman with the Ministry of Health, Karen Hill, said there are concerns about presumed consent infringing on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because a person’s religious beliefs may not agree with organ or tissue donations.<\/p>\n

In that instance, legal concerns can be addressed by providing and promoting an opportunity for a person to opt out, she said.<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan also announced Wednesday that April 7 will be Green Shirt Day across the province in honour of Logan Boulet. He died a day after the crash involving the Humboldt Broncos hockey team bus in rural Saskatchewan last April 6. Fifteen others also died.<\/p>\n

Boulet chose to become an organ donor before he died and his family promoted a day to encourage more people to become donors.<\/p>\n
