Organ and tissue donation is governed by sections 19, 24 and 25 of the Civil Code. These provisions relate to consent to care not required by a person’s state of health and alienation of a part of a person’s body.
The Act respecting labour standards protects the donor’s job. An employee has the right to be absent from work for up to 26 weeks over a 12-month period for organ donation.
