THE MIGRATION - TRIBUNAL - Bill C-224: An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (natural health products)

The Proposal: Deregulation Disguised as Reform

Bill C-224, sponsored by MP Calkins, represents a textbook case of masking β€” treating regulatory symptoms while ignoring the systemic disease consuming Canadian healthcare. The private member's bill seeks to remove natural health products (NHPs) from therapeutic product oversight by modifying the Food and Drugs Act's definition of "therapeutic product" and repealing key regulatory sections.

THE MIGRATION - TRIBUNAL - Bill S-231: An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)

The Proposal: Expanding Access Without Addressing Causes

Senator Wallin's Bill S-231 seeks to amend the Criminal Code to permit advance medical assistance in dying (MAiD) requests, allowing individuals to specify conditions under which they would want MAiD administered if they lose capacity. Drawing inspiration from Quebec's Bill 11, the federal legislation would enable two types of advance directives: specified day arrangements and specified condition declarations, both requiring robust safeguards including medical certification and independent witnesses.
