Subject: Support Bill C-224 to Protect Access to Natural Health Products in Canada
Dear [Member of Parliament’s Name],
As a [consumer / member of the natural health product industry] and constituent, I am deeply concerned about the growing regulatory and cost burdens being placed on Canadian companies that make and sell natural health products (NHPs).
If the government’s proposed framework moves ahead as originally drafted, it will add new layers of cost and red tape—putting Canadian businesses at a significant disadvantage while foreign products continue to enter the country freely under the 90-day import allowance. This not only threatens jobs and innovation here at home but also risks limiting consumer access to safe, trusted Canadian products.
I urge you to support Bill C-224, which recognizes that NHPs are not pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices. This Bill restores fairness and ensures that NHPs are regulated proportionately to their low-risk profile. Canadians deserve balanced regulation that protects safety without restricting access or competitiveness.
Please stand with consumers and small businesses by supporting Bill C-224 and calling for a modern, risk-based approach to regulating natural health products in Canada.
Thank you for your attention to this important issue.
