Bill proposes significant changes to the current Food and Drugs Act
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 Canadians.
Bill C-51 will:
Remove democratic oversight, bypassing elected officials to vote in laws and allow bureaucrats to adopt laws from other countries without our consent.
Remove 70% of Natural Health Products from Canadians and many others will be available by prescription only.
Restrict research and development of safe natural alternatives in favor 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.
Proposed New Enforcement Powers:
Inspectors will enter private property without a warrant
Inspectors will take your property at their discretion
Inspectors will dispose of your property at will
Inspectors will not reimburse you for your losses
Inspectors will seize your bank accounts
Inspectors will charge owners shipping and storage charges for seized property
Inspectors will be empowered to store your property indefinitely
Inspectors will levy fines of up to $5,000,000.00 and/or seek 2 years in jail per incident

For possibly the first time ever, I agree with you.
