Yes. Exactly what I was going to write.
"
Good Samaritan Law or Doctrine:
a legal principle that prevents a rescuer who has voluntarily helped a victim in distress from being successfully sued for 'wrongdoing.' Its purpose is to keep people from being so reluctant to help a stranger in need for fear of legal repercussions if they made some mistake in treatment." - Canadianlawsite.ca
In fact, I saw some references online that suggests Quebec is the first jurisdiction in Canada to make it mandatory to help someone in need. Reminds me of the Seinfeld finale, actually.
