Natural Health Products in Canada are at Risk
Are you a Canadian who consumes natural health products? Do you value freedom of choice? 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 reduced access to natural health practitioners.
Overall, Canadians are losing the right to choose how they treat their bodies to promote health and prevent illness.
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 consumer of natural health products
➡️ Ways to get involved and the importance of doing so
Please share this video far and wide!

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!

It's official! Our Private Member's Bill is now Bill C-368
On Tuesday December 5, 2023, MP Blaine Calkins of Red Deer—Lacombe, Alberta, took a decisive stand in support of our cause and officially tabled our Private Member's Bill in the House of Commons. The Bill was seconded by MP Brad Vis, and given the official Bill number C-368.
This action by MPs Calkins and Vis effectively amplifies our voices, champions the cause for the natural health industry, and acts in the interests of every Canadian citizen that relies on natural health products to care for their health and well-being.

We've Drafted A Private Member's Bill
While you've been busy writing letters and sending postcards to educate our MPs, Shawn Buckley has been busy drafting a new Private Member's Bill to repeal sections 500-504 of Bill C-47.
Not only that, a critical part of this Private Member's Bill is to ensure that any penalties or orders that activated while the therapeutic product provisions applied to natural health products are undone.
A Private Member's Bill is a Bill that can be introduced by any Member of Parliament that is not a Member of the Cabinet. After a Bill is introduced to Parliament, the Bill will be debated and voted on by other Members of Parliament, becoming law if it garners sufficient support.
This Private Member's Bill, drafted by Shawn Buckley, is just one of our many initiatives. Remember, we are in this for the long haul and we will not lighten up until we've achieved our goals.

The Elephant in the Room at the Latest Standing Committee on Health Meeting
On October 30th, The Standing Committee on Health held their second meeting to discuss Health Canada's proposed changes to our natural health product regulations—no doubt as a result of your calls and visits to their offices, and the thousands of postcards and letters filling their desks.
The focus of this meeting was for the committee to hear statements from several industry witnesses and have the opportunity to ask them questions.
Although this meeting represents continued forward progress, there was a clear elephant in the room. Shawn Buckley shares his thoughts and observations about this latest meeting of the Standing Committee on Health.
