BC has introduced changes to the Representation Agreement Act as of September 1, 2011.

A Representation Agreement is a planning document for BC only that authorizes your representative to take care of your personal medical decisions if you are unable to. Unlike the Power of Attorney, it covers health and personal care issues. It comes in two forms, a Standard Agreement and an Enhanced Agreement. The Enhanced Representation Agreement can cover health and personal care in BC. You can specify who has the right to make a major health care decision on your part including refusal of life support.
