Support Bill C-368 To Repeal Sections 500-504 of Bill C-47
While you were busy writing letters and sending postcards to educate our MPs, Shawn Buckley, President of Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA), was busy drafting a new Private Member's Bill to repeal sections 500-504 of Bill C-47.
The Bill aims to repeal Sections 500-504 of the Budget Implementation Act, 2023, No. 1 (formerly Bill C-47). As you may know, these sections, embedded within the annual budget bill, redefine natural health products and subject the entire industry to heightened regulation and excessive fines up to $5,000,000 per day, by moving them fully into the therapeutic products category, alongside chemical drugs.
A Private Member's Bill is a Bill that can be introduced by any Member of Parliament that is not a Member of the Cabinet. After a Bill is introduced to Parliament, the Bill will be debated and voted on by other Members of Parliament, becoming law if it garners sufficient support. This Bill is a draft law.
On Tuesday December 5, 2023, MP Blaine Calkins of Red Deer—Lacombe, Alberta, took a decisive stand in support of our cause and officially tabled our Private Member's Bill in the House of Commons. The Bill was seconded by MP Brad Vis, and given the official Bill number C-368. This action by MP Calkins effectively amplifies our voices, champions the cause for the natural health industry, and acts in the interests of every Canadian citizen that relies on natural health products to care for their health and well-being.
