Think It Can't Happen Here? Think Again! - Bills C-51 & C-52

[Guest guest]

Poster's Comment: please forward to all Canadians

" A minimum of 25 names are needed to compel your MP to read the petition in

the House of Commons. "

Claudia Hudson has facilitated this petition, which not only helps to make

our demands clear, but summaries the situation well so all can understand and

participate - and participate we must!

Please note the September 01, 2008 deadline.

If you think that these regulations/polices are not designed to protect the

corporations then think again. When your MP says " _We Are The Government And

We Are Here To Protect You_

m) and that they will not allow these bills to interfere with out rights.

Then ask them: why the need for these policies in the first place?

Here is a good capsule from Andrew McGivern that sums up the situation

well...

" The Pharmaceutical Industry is asking for _immunity from public lawsuits for

damages

ll_to_shield_pharma.htm) caused by their products but at the same time the

Natural Health Products Industry is under increased scrutiny for supposedly

being dangerous and untested. Natural Health Products have a virtually

unblemished history of being safe and are generally not toxic. The clinical

trials

supporting the efficacy of pharma drugs which now (in many cases) are exposed

to be fraudulent (_pharma staff ghostwriters_

(http://www.communicationagents.com/chris/2005/01/10/drug_companies_have_a_paras\

itic_relationship_with_journals

..htm) ) do not support the " claims " made by the manufacturers. _Why would an

independent clinical trial at the University of Alberta testng a natural

product called EMPower Plus be shut down by Health Canada?_

The preliminary results showed that _EMPower Plus _

pharmaceutical

status quo treatment for Bipolar Affective Disorder and without the need of

ghost writers.

How Can Bill C-51 Affect You?

1. Removes democratic oversight, bypassing elected officials to vote in laws

and

allowing bureaucrats to adopt laws from other countries, corporations or

organizations without our consent. (Section 30.7).

2. Destroys future innovation by restricting research and development and the

advancement of SAFE and NATURAL alternatives in favour of high risk drugs.

(Section 18.50).

3. Punishes Canadians who will have little or no opportunity for protection

or recourse

for simply speaking about and/or giving a natural product without the

government’s

approval.

4. Allows inspectors to enter your private property without your consent

(Section 23

(4)) and:

(i) take your property at their discretion (Section 23.3 a);

(ii) dispose of your property at will while not reimbursing your losses

(Section

23.3 c);

(iii) be empowered to store your property indefinitely (Section 23 (2) (d));

(iv) charge you for shipping and storage for your seized property (Section

23.3ab);

(v) seize your bank accounts (Section 23 (2) (d)); and,

(vi) levy fines up to $5,000,000 and/or 2 years in jail per incident

(Section 31.1).

How Can Bill C-52 Affect You?

Although Bill C-52 does not specifically target Natural Health Products, the

concern is

that Bill C-52 sets a precedent where Canadians will accept the removal of

their rights

in the name of safety and security. Bill C-52 has far-reaching implications

on our civil

rights and freedoms.

Should Bill C-51 be defeated but Bill C-52 pass, Bill C-52 could be made

applicable to

Natural Health Products by way of a regulatory amendment to Schedule I of

Bill C-52.
