Bill C-51

The OAND is supporting CAND efforts to raise concerns about Bill C-51, federal legislation amending the Food and Drugs Act. The Bill is currently being debated in the House. Once debate is concluded, there will be a vote on the motion to move the bill to the Standing Committee on Health. During the hearings before the Standing Committee on Health, stakeholders and M.P.'s on the committee will have the opportunity to express their concerns and propose amendments to Bill C-51. It is important that your voice be heard now as time is of the essence.
