Campaign Update | June 13, 2024
The replay of our highly anticipated June Campaign Update Call is now available!
NHPPA team members Veronica Jean and Dana Fiorino shared exciting progress and future steps for Bill C-368, along with the latest on Bill C-69, Canada’s 2024 Budget Bill.
They also addressed burning questions from within NHPPA's community, such as:
• What is the process for a Private Member's Bill like Bill C-368 to become law?
• Is it true that "Health Canada has the power to recall a tube of lipstick or a head of lettuce but not a contaminated natural health product"?
• What happens if Bill C-69 becomes law without changes?
• What's worse Bill C-47 or Bill C-69?
This event was a special opportunity to celebrate YOU and the incredible advocacy efforts by individual Canadians over the past months. We shine a spotlight on your hard work and achievements!
Don't miss out on the replay to catch up on all the updates and insights.

Shawn Buckley Called As A Witness | Bill C-69
Shawn Buckley was called to appear before the Standing Committee on Finance to discuss proposed changes in Division 31 of Bill C-69, Canada's 2024 Budget Bill, which includes substantive changes to our Food and Drug Law. As a quick reminder, Division 31 of Bill C-69 proposes new Health Canada powers to:
• Regulate off-label drug and natural health product uses.
• Restrict the autonomy of medical professionals.
• Exempt drugs from important existing safety standards such as fraud, adulteration, and manufacture in sanitary conditions.
Shawn did not mince words during his appearance, stating "I'm of the opinion that the messaging by the government, the Minister of Health, and Health Canada is actually fraudulent to the Canadian people."
We encourage you to listen to the audio recording of Shawn's appearance to learn more about the changes to drug and natural health product regulation proposed in Bill C-69. Unfortunately, we anticipate this Bill will become law before Parliament recesses for summer, so it's important for you, as a Canadian, to understand how these proposed changes may affect your access to health options.

Bill C-368 Passed Second Reading: What's Next?
We are thrilled to announce that Bill C-368 has officially passed Second Reading after receiving a majority vote in the House of Commons on May 29th!!
What is Bill C-368?
Introduced by MP Blaine Calkins, Bill C-368 aims to protect Canada's natural health industry by repealing sections 500-504 of Bill C-47, which inappropriately classified natural health products as "therapeutic products" alongside pharmaceutical drugs and applied sweeping Health Canada fees, fines, and powers that are not appropriate for or sustainable by the natural health industry.
Why is Bill C-368 Necessary?
The regulations from Bill C-47 threaten the viability of the natural health industry by imposing unnecessary barriers. Bill C-368 seeks to remove these burdens, keeping natural health products accessible and affordable for Canadians.
Next Steps for Bill C-368
Passing Second Reading is a monumental milestone. The bill will now proceed to the Standing Committee on Health for a detailed review, where industry stakeholders will testify about the impact of Health Canada's regulations and evidence from Health Canada will be studied. This step is crucial for ensuring that issues related to natural health products receive the specialized attention they need.
What You Can Do
Your continued involvement is essential as Bill C-368 progresses through Parliament. Here’s how you can help:
1. Send an Electronic Letter: Visit the link provided to automatically send an electronic letter to all 12 members of the Standing Committee on Health 👉 https://bit.ly/BillC368eLetter
2. Mail a Physical Letter: To make an even stronger impact, print the letter and mail it physically.
3. Share Personal Stories: If you have personal experiences with the benefits of natural health products, consider drafting your own letter to the committee members.
Thank you for all of your hard work! Let's keep the pressure on.

Bill C-368 Second Reading: Second Hour of Debate
Natural Health Products In The Spotlight: Key Takeaways From The House Debate
On May 22, 2024, the House of Commons reconvened to continue the second reading of Bill C-368, aimed at amending the Food and Drugs Act concerning natural health products (NHPs). The hour-long debate featured passionate speeches from members of all major political parties.
The Bloc Québécois, represented by MP Caroline Desbiens, and the NDP, represented by MP Alistair MacGregor, both voiced strong support, emphasizing the need for balanced regulation that preserves consumer access.
Conversely, as expected, Liberal MPs defended the current stringent oversight under Vanessa’s Law to "protect" Canadians.
Conservative MPs Blaine Calkins and Michelle Ferreri framed the debate as an issue of consumer health freedom and criticized the government for overreaching regulatory measures that could potentially stifle small businesses and harm the health of Canadians.
With the vote for Bill C-368 scheduled for May 29, 2024, there’s still time to engage your MP on this critical issue. Send an electronic letter today 👇

Bill C-368 | Successful Second Hour of Debate
The Debate Over Bill C-368 Continued: Catch The Highlights
Bill C-368 could significantly impact Canada's natural health product industry and your ability to access to these products.
In this latest video, we delve into the ongoing debate over natural health product regulations. On May 22, the House of Commons resumed the second reading of Bill C-368, aiming to amend the Food and Drugs Act by repealing sections 500-504 of Bill C-47. These sections controversially moved natural health products into the same regulatory category as pharmaceutical drugs, a shift that has negatively impacted the industry.
Catch the highlights of the debate in this 5-minute video that explores key moments from Bill C-368's second reading.

Bill C-368 Second Reading: First Hour of Debate
Bill C-368 has the potential to profoundly impact Canada's natural health product industry and your access to these products.
The bill's second reading in the House of Commons began on April 29, 2024, with the first of two one-hour-long debates on the bill's merit. MPs from the Conservative, NDP, and Bloc Québécois parties all expressed strong support. They emphasized the importance of preserving the $3 billion industry, which employs 54,000 Canadians and generates $150 million in GST revenue annually. MPs also criticized Health Canada's new regulatory framework, warning it would lead to fewer products at higher prices and disproportionately harm women.
The second reading process isn't over, and there's more work to do! We urge you to stay engaged and advocate for Bill C-368's progress by contacting your MP.
___
🚨 A Summary of the Attack on Canada's Natural Health Industry:
➡️ Last year, Health Canada slipped substantial revisions into the 2023 Budget Bill, called Bill C-47. We are supporting Bill C-368, introduced by MP Blaine Calkins, to REMOVE sections 500-504 of Bill C-47.
➡️ These sections recategorize natural health products as "therapeutic products", subjecting them to the heightened regulations, fees, and fines designed for over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs. This change is expected to devastate the natural health industry, resulting in the loss of products, less innovative products, rising costs, and reduced access to natural health practitioners.
➡️ We must engage with our MPs and encourage them to support Bill C-368 with a positive vote as it moves through Second Reading.

Natural Health Practitioners in Canada are at Risk
Are you a Canadian natural health practitioner? Do you want to continue practicing? If yes, this video is for you.
Health Canada is in the process of replacing our current natural health product regulations with a new plan, called the Self-Care Framework, the public goal of which is to harmonize the regulation of chemical drugs and natural health products.
This change is expected to devastate the natural health industry, resulting in the loss of products, less innovative products, rising costs, and more.
Overall, Canadians are losing the right to choose how they treat their bodies to promote health and prevent illness -- and practitioners are losing the ability to maintain their practices.
The Natural Health Product Protection Association (NHPPA) is dedicated to safeguarding the natural health industry. This short educational video will equip you with the following:
➡️ An understanding of the Self-Care Framework
➡️ The consequences of the Self-Care Framework as a natural health practitioner
➡️ Ways to get involved and the importance of doing so
Please share this video far and wide!

A Global Dialogue on Natural Health Freedom - Shawn Buckley, Dr. Robert Malone, and Dr. Robert Verkerk
Shawn Buckley and esteemed guests Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Robert Verkerk, delve into the intricate landscape of natural health freedom, not only within Canada but also across Europe and the United States.
Our community has raised numerous questions regarding health freedom on a global scale and the regulation of the natural health industry in other countries. Mr. Buckley, Dr. Malone, and Dr. Verkerk offer their diverse perspectives and share effective strategies to safeguard our health freedoms and access to natural health products on an international scale.
This event is more than just a discussion—it's an opportunity to propel us into action and unite advocates who are committed to upholding our freedom to make personal health decisions.
In these unparalleled times, the significance of safeguarding our inherent rights to make informed health decisions and maintain autonomy over our own bodies has become strikingly clear. As we stand at the crossroads of change and challenge, the conversation around natural health and broader health freedom has taken centre stage.

Campaign Update | February 21, 2024
It was a pleasure connecting with all of you during last week's Campaign Update call! For those who missed the live session, the video replay is now available.
Since June 2023, we've been urging you to write letters to your MPs as a part of our "Pressure Your MP" Campaign. Many of you took action, sent letters, and then shared the responses you received with the NHPPA team. MPs' response letters were often laden with Health Canada's scripted talking points and patronizing language, all while demonstrating a glaring lack of understanding regarding natural health products and regulations.
Common questions arose: : "Should I respond to my MP?" and "What should I say?"
During February's Campaign Update call, Shawn dissected numerous MP responses and elaborated on how and why we should continue the conversation. The uninformed and dismissive language coming from some MP's offices left many of you astonished. Rest assured, Shawn's response to this is not only enlightening but also quite entertaining.

Campaign Update | January 31, 2024
If you weren't able to attend live, the video replay of our first Campaign Update call of 2024 is now available!
During the call last week, Shawn Buckley relived our many recent achievements, reviewed our goals, shared some exciting plans for the upcoming year, and answered questions from our community.
Here are just a few of the questions asked:
- What is the process that Bill C-368 will go through in the House of Commons? What is a 'second reading'?
- Are there any Canadian supplement companies that support NHPPA's initiatives?
- When will Health Canada begin enforcing their new regulations against practitioners? (spoiler alert: they already are!)
We also heard amazing advocacy ideas from our community:
- Let's host letter-writing parties with our families and friends! Get together for a fun night of socializing and letter-writing.
- Let's continue sharing and publicizing MPs' responses to our letters to increase transparency and accountability.
- Let's distribute postcards at farmers' markets and other community events.
Watch the replay now, and then share it with your network!
