The act was named after Vanessa Young, who died in at the age of 15 of a cardiac arrhythmia after taking a cisapride, a heartburn medication, as prescribed. The labelling requirement also came into force in July and companies are being given six years to make the change.

But the most contentious regulatory change is still to come. Opposition MPs say it's the one driving most of the public backlash. The planned change would force natural health producers to reimburse Health Canada for the cost of monitoring and approving their products before they hit the market.

Don Davies, NDP MP for Vancouver Kingsway, told CBC News he fears Health Canada is "missing the mark. feel vulnerable and they feel at risk," he said.

Davies pointed out that the auditor general has scolded Health Canada for failing to conduct inspections and enforcement as required under current regulation. The planned regulatory change is being opposed by national media campaigns, including the "Save Our Supplements" campaign launched by the Canadian Health Food Association.

The group claims that one in five natural health brands are considering leaving Canada. Another campaign, from the Natural Health Product Protection Association, claims Ottawa is trying to do away with natural products.

Health Minister Mark Holland declined an interview with CBC News, as did Liberal members of the health committee. Holland's office instead helped to arrange an interview with Canada's chief medical adviser, who defended the regulatory changes. Supriya Sharma, chief medical adviser at Health Canada.

Makers of natural health products don't pay fees to Health Canada for monitoring and regulatory oversight, she said. The fees the department is looking to pass on could range up to tens of thousands of dollars. Prescription drug companies pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for Health Canada monitoring and oversight, she said.
