Subject Matter Details

Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution

Bill C-36 the Consumer Product Safety Act. We are seeking to have this Bill changed and/or repealed.
Promoting the Charter of Health Freedom found at www.charterofhealthfreedom.org. We are seeking to have the Government introduce and pass the Charter of Health Freedom as an Act of Parliament.

Policies or Program

We are seeking to have the Compliance Policy for Natural Health Products changed so that it is clear that natural health products for which license applications have been filed can be sold without the risk of compliance action unless there is evidence of a safety concern. We are also seeking to have it amended so that enforcement action will not be taken against safe products with or without a license when the sole issue preventing a NHP license is evidence regarding claims.

Regulation

Natural Health Product Regulations - We are seeking to have these Regulations suspended pending a review of their effect. We are seeking to have the evidence requirements for licensing of natural health products relaxed to better reflect the low risk profile of natural health products and the absence of specific claim evidence. We are also seeking to have an "evidence claim exemption" so that product licenses on safe products do not continue to be refused solely because of issues relating to claim evidence.
