Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (natural health products)
This enactment amends An Act to authorize the making of certain fiscal payments to provinces, and to authorize the entry into tax collection agreements with provinces to provide that the Minister of Finance may enter into an agreement with the government of a province under which the government of the province will collect the federal personal and corporation income taxes on behalf of the Government of Canada. It also requires that the Minister of Finance undertake discussions with the Government of Quebec in order to enter into such an agreement.
Bill C-224 aims to change how natural health products are regulated in Canada. Currently, some natural health products are treated like drugs under the Food and Drugs Act, meaning they face a similar monitoring system. This bill proposes to exclude most natural health products from being considered "therapeutic products" under this act.
