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 all Canadians. This bill has already passed first reading. It appears that our Government is trying to fast track this bill before anyone has a chance to challenge it. Currently, many of our councilors and MPPs are even unaware of the details to Bill C-51. How can we, as Canadian citizens, be informed when our government representatives don't even know about it? Bill C-51 Will: Restrict research and development of safe and natural alternatives in favour 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. Allow inspectors to enter private property without consent, take your property at their discretion, dispose of your property at will, not reimburse you for your losses, seize your bank accounts, charge owners shipping and storage charges for seized property, be empowered to store your property indefinitely, and levy fines up to $5,000,000 and/or 2 years in jail per incident.
