As the conversation around Bill C-368 intensifies, it’s essential for all Members of Parliament to understand the context and stakes involved.
Shawn Buckley has submitted a comprehensive brief to the Standing Committee on Health that explains why Bill C-368 is so important. This brief highlights that Health Canada’s push to classify NHPs as therapeutic products—akin to over-the-counter chemical drugs—is unnecessary and harmful.
It also points out that Canadians have been pushing back against such changes since the 1990s and emphasizes that Health Canada already had the power to protect public safety under existing laws long before Bill C-47.
