Shawn Buckley, lawyer and President of the NHPPA (National Health Products Protection Association) is giving a cross-country lecture tour—Freedom in Crisis—November 18 to December 7 to alert the public about the potential threat to rights and freedoms that Bill C-36 poses, as well as to the negative impact the Natural Health Product Regulations will have on NHP businesses and consumers as the regulations come into full force.
Learn how the Natural Health Product Regulations have Health Canada poised to raid legitimate business and how they have been pulling products we’ve taken for granted off store shelves. At the same time, Bill C-36: Canada’s Consumer Product Safety Act, if passed, will attack manufacturers’ and consumers’ constitutional and legal rights. Hear the life and death implications of taking natural health products from the market and understand how a new law (Bill C-36) will elevate unelected, untrained government inspectors above the rule of law.
The more people we can reach, educate, get angry and get active, the better chance we have to re-set this unfair trajectory. Health Canada’s NHP Regulations have been set up to begin greater enforcement in 2011. Bill C-36 is in Second Reading in Senate (when this was written), but is affecting Canadians even now.
It is not ‘too late’. It is not an exercise in futility to ‘challenge the government’. In the face of such powerful opposition we all have a tendency to accept the status quo. But we can change, we need not be quieted into submission.
Canadians’ outrage has moved the government before.
