Letters to Targeted Bureaucrats
Unelected bureaucrats are primarily responsible for the over-regulation of natural health products. Reach them directly and make it clear you want them to stop restricting your access to natural health products!
You can connect with targeted bureaucrats by phone, by mailing letters, or by email.

CHOOSE FROM THREE LETTERS ADDRESSED TO HEALTH CANADA BUREAUCRATS DETAILING THE NHP REGULATION CRISIS
Remember that a Bureaucrat Letter is slightly different than an MP letter.
Level 1:
This is a letter that you draft yourself. We have compiled a guide to help you write an effective letter, and have also compiled a list of two dozen potential writing points that you can use as inspiration.
Level 2:
This letter is almost done for you. It is the same form letter as above, but with a blank text box for you to add your own hand-written personal comments. Your effort to draft personalized thoughts, results in more impact on the bureaucrat.
Level 3:
This letter is completely done for you. All you need to do is add the bureaucrats name, sign and date the form letter. This requires the least time investment, but form letters also have the least impact with bureaucrats.

Do all the levels of communication over and over again. At least weekly.
Everything you do will make a difference.
