moved for leave to introduce C-465, an act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (natural health products).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce today my private member's bill amending the Food and Drugs Act so that, once and for all, the real value of natural health products will be recognized.
This bill would include natural health products as a separate class in the Food and Drugs Act.
Five years after the tabling of a report by the health standing committee, this bill is a response to the report, which suggested in its 53 recommendations that natural health products be recognized in our legislation, because they are neither drugs nor food.
