May 30, 2024
Child Health Protection Act
  • This bill aims to prevent food and beverage marketing directed at children under 13 years old by amending the Food and Drugs Act. The bill was introduced due to increasing rates of childhood obesity in Canada and the negative impact of marketing contributing to excess sugar, saturated fats, or sodium in children's diets. The bill also includes provisions for reviewing and monitoring the effectiveness of the act and considering children aged 13-16 in advertising regulations. The act comes into force one year after receiving royal assent.
