On April 8, 2008, the Canadian Minister of Health introduced a Bill 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.
This Bill will remove more than 70% of Natural Health Products from Canadians and many others will be available by prescription only. The Bill will restrict research and development of natural alternatives in favour of high risk drugs.
Canadians will be punished for simply speaking about or giving a natural product without the approval of the government and be levied fines of up to $5, 000,000.00 and/or 2 years in jail per charge. If C-51 is passed, law government agents will be able to enter private property without a warrant, take your property at their discreation, dispose of your property, not reimburse for losses, seize your bank accounts without a warrant, and the list goes on.
We, the undersigned, call on to the Canadian Government to continue to allow Canadians the freedom to choose alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs in the way of Natural Health Products.
We do not want the government to prevent Canadians from utilizing these products and feel that would be a violation of our right to look after our own health.
We are in opposition of Bill C-51 and believe that our government will support our strongly opposed stance.
