On April
8th, 2008, the Canadian Minister of Health introduced
Bill C-51into the
House of Commons. This Bill proposes significant changes to the
current Food and Drugs Act that will have wide-ranging negative
implications for Canadians.
Bill C-51
will:
— Remove democratic oversight, bypassing
elected officials to vote in laws and allow bureaucrats to adopt
laws from other countries without our consent.
—
Remove
70% of Natural Health Products from Canadians and many others will
be available by prescription only.
— Restrict research and development of safe
natural alternatives in favour of high-risk
drugs.
— Punish Canadians with little or no opportunity for
protection or recourse for simply speaking about or giving a
natural product without the approval of government. More than
70% of people in Canada use a Natural Health Product. The new
law goes so far as to warrant action against a person who would give
another person an unapproved amount of garlic on the recommendation
that it would improve that person's health.
