WHEREAS:

• Health Canada is significantly changing natural health product (NHPs) regulations;

• Health Canada recently proposed new and significant fees to import, manufacture, and sell NHPs along with new labelling laws, which means, 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; and

• Canada's current standards on natural health products already keep people safe.

THEREFORE:

We, the undersigned citizens and permanent residents of Canada, call upon the Minister of Health to stop changing natural health product (NHPs) regulations.
