Shawn Buckley is a Canadian constitutional lawyer with 30 years of experience and a proven track record defending more natural health companies against Health Canada than any other lawyer.
Since 2008, Mr. Buckley has been President of the Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA), which is dedicated to protecting Canadians’ access to natural health products. Among his many accomplishments, he has served as an expert witness on natural health product regulations and constitutional law in both the House of Commons and the Senate, and was perhaps the sole expert witness opposing Bill C-36 (The Consumer Product Protection Act). He also authored The Charter of Health Freedom, which is proposed legislation that gives natural health products and traditional medicines their own Act. A paper petition in support of The Charter is currently the third largest paper petition, pending delivery, in Canadian history.
Most recently, Mr. Buckley drafted a Private Member’s Bill to protect natural product access for all Canadians by amending the Food and Drugs Act (natural health products). With the support of Members of Parliament, the Private Member’s Bill is now named Bill C-368 and has passed second reading in the House of Commons.
