Charter of Health Freedom Section 14 – Least Restrictive Interference

Revisiting the Charter in 2019

Natural Health Products and practices are under threat, once again. As a result of Health Canada's latest plans to harmonize the Natural Health Product Regulations with those of chemical drugs, Canadians risk continued loss of access to natural medicines. Censorship of truthful information about Natural Health Products will be increased under Health Canada's proposed action. Science will be used as a weapon to suppress truth. Action is required now.

The Charter of Health Freedom is proposed Canadian legislation that gives Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines their own Act. The Charter protects our access to Natural Health Products and Traditional Medicines by creating separate legal category for them. The Charter aims to protect our health freedoms and rights.

In this video (1 minute watch), constitutional lawyer and NHPPA President, Shawn Buckley discusses the meaning and purpose of Section 14 of the Charter, including how the Court would be required to complete a balanced risk analysis when deciding how to best protect the public, ensuring the least restrictive interference.
