Cory_Pilfold, after reading some of the C-51 bill, I gotta say I don't find too much wrong with it. In fact it could clean up some of these bullshit "natural health" stores...
For example the part of prohibiting food/therapeutic products:
C-51
Quote:
5. Foods
Deception, etc.
5. (1) No person shall manufacture, process, label, package, sell, import for sale or advertise a food in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its character, value, quantity, composition, merit, safety or origin.
.

.
Therapeutic Products
No clinical trial without authorization
10. No person shall conduct a clinical trial in respect of a therapeutic product that does not have a market authorization unless they are authorized by a clinical trial authorization to do so.
Conducting controlled activity
13. No person shall conduct a controlled activity unless they are authorized by an establishment licence to do so.
Deception, etc.
14. No person shall manufacture, process, label, package, sell, import for sale or advertise a therapeutic product in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its benefits, risks, conditions of use, quality, quantity, composition, design, construction, performance, origin or authorization status.

I fail to see the part where it says 60-80% of supplements will be banned. What I see is the placement of accountability on part of the supplement/herbal manufacturers. Something that is missing in industry. Furthermore, if it keeps places like this:
Preventing AIDS - curing aids - HIV+, How to cure Aids ? HIV+,How to Prevent aids? away from the public. I see no problem with that.
And quite frankly, It seems that the only people really concerned about this bill are the supplement manufacturers and alternative medicine vendors that sell questionable products and services.
