On April
8th, 2008, the Canadian Minister of Health introduced
Bill C-51 into 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 favor 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.
