In this interview with Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, lawyer Shawn Buckley explains why Canada is effectively moving to ban therapeutic use of supplements through regulatory overreach rather than outright prohibition. Shawn traces his experience working with Health Canada and describes how natural health products are being regulated as if they were dangerous pharmaceutical drugs despite decades of safe use. He explains how new fee structures, licensing rules, and restrictions on truthful health information are designed to drive multi-ingredient and practitioner-recommended supplements off the market. Shawn also discusses the absence of evidence showing harm from natural health products, the life-and-death consequences of removing access, and why Canadians must retain the right to decide how they treat their own bodies.
