The NHPPA Podcast

Buckley says other statutes do not justify seizing property with no court report. He and Senator Eaton clash over whether section 20(4) exempts inspectors from trespass.

Trade lawyer Cyndee Cherniak warns Bill C-6 is too vague and could become a trade barrier. Buckley answers Health Canada’s claim that similar powers already exist in other laws.

Buckley warns that administrative charges let the state keep and forfeit property without any court. He also objects to the bill abolishing the law of trespass for Health Canada inspectors.

 
Shawn Buckley opens his 2009 Senate testimony on Bill C-6 by warning that a consumer-safety bill can still undermine the rule of law. He explains how inspectors can seize property, take control of a family business, and leave owners with no court review.

Shawn Buckley opens the NHPPA’s cross-Canada Health Charter Tour by explaining why truthful health information is censored in Canada, how Health Canada restricts access to natural health products, and why the Charter of Health Freedom is essential to restoring Canadians’ right to choose how they prevent and treat illness. He outlines the Health Charter Tour as a grassroots, volunteer-driven journey across Canada to educate the public, share censored health stories, gather signatures for a federal petition, and build support for the Charter of Health Freedom—a proposed law designed to protect access to natural and traditional remedies, mandate balanced risk–benefit regulation, and put health outcomes first.
