Williams Lake Stop Bill C-51 in the Williams Lake Tribune Today
Harris: I’ll watch Bill C-51 closely
By Sage Birchwater - Williams Lake Tribune - May 08, 2008
People involved in the alternate healing community are alarmed at a bill before Parliament this week that will make sweeping changes to laws governing natural health products.
There is fear that the federal government wants to outlaw up to 60 per cent of natural health products currently sold in Canada. Among the key changes proposed by the bill are radical alterations to terminology, including replacing the word “drug” with “therapeutic product.”
A rally has been organized for Williams Lake this Saturday, May 10 at 11 a.m. in front of city hall in an effort to educate people to the dangers of Bill C-51, and to take collective action against it.
Bill C-51 was introduced to the House on April 8, by federal Health Minister Tony Clement. The bill goes to second reading in the House of Commons today.
Organizers of the rally say phone calls, letters and e-mails sent to MLAs, mayors and city councils, and MPs, including Cariboo Prince George MP Dick Harris, have gone unanswered.

There is NO clause stating the First Nations will be excluded from this bill
In reading through this bill we have yet to identify a clause stating that First Nations people are excluded from this bill. If anyone has any info. on whether First Nations is protected from this could you please provide that info to us at stopbillc-51@gmail.com
We want to make sure First Nations is fully protected from this bill as the use of herbs has always been a part of First Nations Culture.

Bill C-51 New enforcement powers allow Canadian government to seize your home or business
At the same time that C-51 is outlawing herbs, supplements and vitamins, it would grant alarming new “enforcement” powers to the thugs enforcement agents who claim to be “protecting” the public from dangerous unapproved “therapeutic agents” like, say, dandelion greens. As explained on the http://www.Educate-Yourself.orgwebsite ((http://educate-yourself.org/cn/canadian...),
the C-51 law would allow the Canadian government’s thugs enforcement agents to:
• Raid your home or business without a warrant
• Seize your bank accounts
• Levy fines up to $5 million and a jail terms up to 2 years for merely selling an herb
• Confiscate your property, then charge you storage fees for the expense involved in storing all the products they stole from you
C-51 would even criminalize the simple drying of herbs in your kitchen to be used in an herbal product, by the way. That would now be categorized as a “controlled activity,” and anyone caught engaging in such “controlled activities” would be arrested, fined and potentially jailed.
Other “controlled activities” include labelling bottles, harvesting plants on a farm, collecting herbs from your back yard, or even testing herbal products on yourself! (Yes, virtually every activity involving herbs or supplements would be criminalized...)
There’s more, too. C-51 is the Canadian government’s “final solution” for the health products industry. It’s a desperate effort to destroy this industry that’s threatening the profits and viability of conventional medicine.
Natural medicine works so well—and is becoming so widely used—that both the Canadian and American governments have decided to “nuke” the industries by passing new laws that effectively criminalize anyone selling such products. They simply cannot tolerate allowing consumers to have continued access to natural products. To do so will ultimately spell the destruction of Big Pharma and the outdated, corrupt and criminally-operated pharmaceutical industry that these criminally-operated governments are trying to protect.

Bill C-51
A new law being pushed in Canada by Big Pharma seeks to outlaw up to 60 percent of natural health products currently sold in Canada, even while criminalizing parents who give herbs or supplements to their children.
The law, known as C-51, was introduced by the Canadian Minister of Health on April 8th, 2008, and it proposes sweeping changes to Canada’s Food and Drugs Act that could have devastating consequences on the health products industry.
Among the changes proposed by the bill are radical alterations to key terminology, including replacing the word “drug” with “therapeutic product” throughout the Act, thereby giving the Canadian government broad-reaching powers to regulate the sale of all herbs, vitamins, supplements and other items. With this single language change, anything that is “therapeutic” automatically falls under the Food and Drug Act. This would include bottled water, blueberries, dandelion greens and essentially all plant-derived substances.
The Act also changes the definition of the word “sell” to include anyone who gives such therapeutic products to someone else. So a mother giving an herb to her child, under the proposed new language, could be arrested for engaging in the sale of unregulated, napproved “therapeutic substances.” Learn about more of these freedom-squashing changes to the law at the Stop51.com website: http://www.stopc51.com
