CHFA has met with numerous Members of Parliament and officials over the last few weeks, including testifying before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health and meeting with the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health, to discuss current challenges with the interpretation and implementation of the NHP Regulations. In order to ensure that consumers have uninterrupted access to safe, effective and innovative products at a reasonable cost, CHFA advocates that the government review the current regulatory environment for natural health products in an efficient, effective and equitable manner. CHFA’s recommendations to the Committee yesterday included: • That the federal government become Canada’s national leader in promoting a healthy lifestyle; increasing public awareness of the benefits of prevention, wellness and self-care, including information on the benefits of natural products. • That the federal government encourage research that further defines the benefits of prevention, wellness and self-care with respect to health optimization and risk reduction. • That the federal government act as an International Ambassador for a wellness-centred model of health management. • That the federal government promote the benefits of organics as an option for Canadians seeking optimal health and well-being. “The federal government must provide a strong framework for Canada in health promotion and disease prevention,” said Wilkie. “Canadians expect this from their federal government. Let’s be sure that this opportunity is not lost --- all Canadians will greatly benefit from this wellness approach.” For more information on the NHP and Organics industry, visit www.chfa.ca -30- The Canadian Health Food Association (www.chfa.ca) is Canada’s largest national trade association dedicated to the natural health products and organic products industry.
