Dr. Dayan Goodenowe on Saskatchewan’s Bill 55

A conversation with Shawn Buckley on The NHPPA Show.

Join Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD as he sits down with Shawn Buckley and the NHPPA team for a critical episode of The NHPPA Show.

 

In this conversation, Dr. Goodenowe examines Saskatchewan’s Bill 55 and its expansion of powers to the College of Physicians and Surgeons over the so-called “unlawful practice of medicine.” This legislation threatens health freedom, practitioner rights, and access to natural health options across Canada.

 

Dr. Goodenowe explains how Bill 55 follows a year of inspections and inquiries directed at his Moose Jaw operations, where the privately funded Moose Jaw Vitality Project offers free assessments and a self-directed restorative health model to the community. He walks through why a centre that asks no public money, empowers individuals with their own health information, and operates entirely outside the diagnose-and-treat framework has become a target. The discussion also covers what’s at stake more broadly: a separate enforcement body with search warrant authority over non-physicians, the economic incentives quietly turning MAID into Canada’s default response to chronic illness, and what becomes possible when community-led restorative health is allowed to flourish.

 

This discussion matters. Watch as Dr. Goodenowe shares urgent insights into how Bill 55 could restrict informed choice and non-conventional health approaches.

About the NHPPA

 

The Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA) is a Canadian advocacy organization founded in 2008 to protect Canadians’ access to natural health products. Led by founder and constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley, the organization works to push back against Health Canada regulations that treat natural health products under the same “therapeutic products” framework as chemical drugs, with the associated licensing fees, advertising restrictions, and penalties that come with that classification. 

 

Its current campaigns include the Charter of Health Freedom, which proposes a separate legal category for natural health products and traditional medicines, and Bill C-224, which has passed unanimously in the House and advanced to the Standing Committee on Health. The organization also runs The NHPPA Show and Talk Forum, regular live broadcasts featuring practitioners, researchers, and advocates working at the intersection of health, science, and policy in Canada.
