Do not resuscitate orders are similar to those used in the United States. In 1995, the [[Canadian Medical Association]], [[Canadian Hospital Association]], [[Canadian Nursing Association]], and [[Catholic Health Association of Canada]] worked with the [[Canadian Bar Association]] to clarify and create a '''Joint Statement on Resuscitative Interventions''' guideline for use to determine when and how DNR orders are assigned.<ref name="caringtotheend.ca">{{cite web |url= http://www.caringtotheend.ca/body.php?id%3D515%26cc%3D1 |title= Do Not Resuscitate Orders | publisher = Princess Margaret Hospital d|access-date=2012-12-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715000749/http://www.caringtotheend.ca/body.php?id=515&cc=1 |archive-date=2014-07-15 }}</ref> DNR orders must be discussed by doctors with the patient or patient agents or patient's significant others.
