Federal Court Gag Order Hearings
Gag Order Hearings - Drs. Chopra and Haydon
On Tuesday June 20 at 9:00 am and Wednesday June 21 at 9:00 am, the Federal
Court of Canada will be holding hearings on the gag orders imposed on
Health Canada scientists Dr. Shiv Chopra and Dr. Margaret Haydon.
Health Canada imposed gag orders on Dr. Chopra and Dr. Haydon, preventing
them from speaking publicly about their concerns that the health of
Canadians is being risked due to the approval of drugs of questionable
safety.
These drugs include hormones and antibiotics that are administered to food
producing animals. Some of these drugs have been banned in Europe because
they are linked to cancer. Yet they have been approved in the Canadian food
supply.
Those who can, please attend the meetings and lend your support to Health
Canada scientists whose efforts to protect public health have put them at
odds with the pressure at Health Canada to race products to market.
Note: The exact location of the meeting will be known Monday, and I will
then post it. However, I wanted to let people know about the meeting this
weekend, so they can have more time to plan.
