Health Minister Tony Clement fully supports enforcement actions causing the deaths of Canadians
In 2003 Health Canada agents
knowingly and willfully took action against
a group of mentally ill Canadians, preventing them from
accessing a natural health product they
relied on to correct their mental illness
and prevent suicides. A 2006 court
trial exposed the clear and unchallenged
evidence of
warnings and pleadings by Ron LaJeunesse, Alberta Director of the Canadian
Mental Health Association (click

witness of suicides that were the result of
desperation when Canadians were advised they
would no longer have access to their natural
health product. When Constitutional Lawyer
Shawn P. Buckley wrote an official request,
asking the Minister to initiate a full
inquiry into the actions taken by Health
Canada agents, Minister Clement responded
with silence (click

Minister Meena Ballantyne reviewed the case
and said: “Health Canada fully supports
actions taken…”

Q. Should Canadians trust Health Canada with
increased powers?
Q. Should Minister Clement
be entrusted with the safety of Canadians when such
evidence is unmoving to him?
