Bill C-51: (proposed changes to the Food and Drug Act): If you want to be

able to take vitamins and herbs to help maintain your health, then it is time

for you to act,…this outrageous covert Big Brother government maneuver must

be

made public and stopped.

In Canada the law making process takes place in a public forum with our

elected officials voting for or against them. They are held accountable to the

public for their decisions. If Bill C-51 passes, it will allow laws (with

'Draconian' penalties) to be created behind closed doors, by government agents

(in

the pockets of Big Pharmaceutical companies and international trade groups

i.e. NAFTA) who may not have our best interests in mind. For example:

1. 75% of natural health products will be unable to obtain license for sale,

therefore rendering them illegal & discontinued.

- all other Natural Health Products will be placed in the same category as

drugs ('therapeutic products') making them only available through prescription

(i.e. 'please doctor, could I get some vitamin C?')

- either lack of products to sell, or the yearly fees per product ($300-$500

each) will put most manufacturers or distributors (except big

Pharmaceutical) of natural products out of business (i.e. 500 products X

$500/yr =

$250,000/yr!)

- be sure and close the drapes if you plan to give your child an herbal

remedy or have some peppermint tea (see #2).

- this is all being done in the name of safety, even though there has NEVER

been a documented case of death due to vitamins or minerals.

2. WITHOUT a warrant, government inspectors will be able to (all just for

growing or having your own herbs, vitamins, or minerals):

- enter your private property

- take your natural products (garlic and bluebarries?) and seize your bank

account

- levy 'Draconian' fines up to 5,000,000 and/or seek 2 years in jail
