Urgent Action Needed: Before Midnight, Wednesday, Nov. 27

Natural Health Products are under attack by Trudeau’s government, who want nothing less than to remove your access to them, leaving you with no other option but dangerous and expensive pharmaceuticals.

Shawn Buckley of the Natural Health Product Protection Association has been fighting for our rights to these products for 16 years, recently with one of the largest paper petitions in Canadian history, and with Bill C-368, a private member’s bill that would reverse the recent amendments to the Food and Drug Act that will be used to deny you access to these products.

But now there is a need for urgency. Bill C-368, which passed its second reading in the House this past spring, is now under serious threat due to amendments introduced by the NDP and Bloc Quebecois. Amendments that would make C-368 impotent and maintain the changes already made to the Food and Drugs Act.

Please watch this short interview with Shawn Buckley, then take action before tomorrow night, that’s Wednesday, November 27th. You will find links to the action items below this interview. It will only take a few minutes of your time. Together we can save our natural health products.

NOTE: The Committee meets at 3:30 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 28. You must contact them before then.
