Once again, it is hard to see the colours of our MP’s that “allegedly” sit representing us in Ottawa. The Liberals wearing blue, the Tories wearing red and the NDP wearing a gag. The Canadian Action Party scratches its collective head trying to make sense of this assault on civil liberties known as Bill C­6 that has already passed through the house and is resting with the Senate.

Bill C­6 allows inspectors to enter and cross private property without a warrant, and it releases them from liability for damages they may cause. Bill C­6 has a schedule of listed products that can be added to by the minister without going to parliament for approval. This could be used to restrict the health freedoms of Canadians by limiting access to health supplements and organic products.

Bill C­6 is a re­introduced bill. It was introduced as Bill C­52 in the 2nd session of the 39th parliament, but was realized for the farce it was and rejected. As Canada already has a Hazardous Materials Act that is, and has been suitable to our needs for many years, CAP sees no reason why this bill should have been introduced in the first place.

If Bill C­6 passes, citizens of Canada will be subject to the whim of the government without legal recourse. The Canadian Action Party believes this bill to be nothing more than a grab for power by the governing party at the expense of our citizens' civil liberties.

CAP suggests other more suitable names for Bill C­6 such as:

Bill C­6 (An Act Respecting the Negation of the Law of Trespass); and

Bill C­6 (An Act Respecting the Denial of Due Process)
