Protect Your Freedom To Choose
“Can we pretend that there is not going to be a serious health consequence to removing 25,000 – 30,000 health products from the Canadian market?”
-- Shawn Buckley, president of the Natural Health Products Protection Association (www.nhppa.org)


The important issue of health freedom will not go away on its own. Bill C-52 died away when parliament was dissolved in the fall of 2008, but Bill C-6 poses a very real, though hidden, threat. Bill C-6 appears to be only about public safety, but we must understand that – if passed – natural products could be added to the Bill as unsafe without going through parliament: by regulation rather than by legislation. We would then have no opportunity to fight it. And Bill C-6 has already quietly passed second reading in the House. The time to act is NOW!

Constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley explains another key concern with Bill C-6. He says that any act that removes the Rule of Law (as C-6 does), that allows the state to interfere with you or your property without court supervision, should not be allowed. This would set a precedent, and open the door to the state interfering with your fundamental freedoms. He adamantly declares that it is absolutely mind- boggling how a government can argue that we are made safer in the removal of the Rule of Law. We aren’t. We cannot sit still and allow that to happen.

There are two things we must do:
First, express our concerns about Bill C-6 to the Senate. Do Not mention NHP's in this letter. See the link below for letter writing information.

BILL C-6 LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN The NHPPA has partnered with Dr. David Rowland to launch an Email and Letter Writing Campaign opposing Bill C-6 and asking Senate Members to stop a bill that violates our rights and freedoms as Canadians.
