Mr. Speaker, the second petition I would like to present today is in response to Health Canada's changing rules related to natural health products. Health Canada recently proposed new and significant fees to import, manufacture and sell NHPs, along with new labelling laws. This means that consumer prices will rise and consumer choice will decline. Many Canadians rely on NHPs, which include basic, everyday products, such as toothpaste, vitamins, probiotics and fibre. Canada's current standards for natural health products already keep people safe. Therefore, the undersigned citizens of Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon call upon the Minister of Health to scrap the new regulations for natural health products.
In the House of Commons on November 6th, 2024. See this statement in context.
