Bill C-420, Natural Health Bill Reinstated Ottawa, 2nd February 2004Dr. James Lunney Member Parliament (MP) (Nanaimo-Alberni)www.jameslunneymp.ca

“Freedom of choice in personal health care at stake,” says Lunney

OTTAWA—Dr. James Lunney, MP for Nanaimo-Alberni, renewed his call for greater access to Natural Health Products (NHPs) today, coinciding with the reinstatement of his Private Members’ Bill (PMB), C-420. It is expected that Committee will promptly review the matter, hear witnesses, and return the bill to the House for third and final reading. “Canadians deserve freedom of information and freedom of choice in personal health care,” said Lunney.

Bill C-420, one of only five PMBs restored at second reading stage, would move NHPs from under a repressive ‘drug-style’ directorate to a ‘food-style’ directorate more appropriate for low-cost, low-risk, non-patentable products with a long history of safe use in Canada. It would also repeal antiquated clauses that restrict information and access to effective vitamin, mineral and herbal products. “Bill C-420 will assure good manufacturing practices, plant and product inspections and a quality assessment of health claims,” said Lunney.
