Lettre ouverte aux sénateurs : Arrêtons les pratiques de marketing auprès des enfants

14 juin 2019

Honorables sénateurs
Sénat du Canada
Ottawa (Ontario)
Canada

Cher sénateur :

Nous, soussignés, 425 professionnels de la santé et de la santé publique, chercheurs, décideurs, universitaires, étudiants et stagiaires, vous implorons de prendre la défense des enfants du Canada et de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour que le projet de loi S-228 (interdiction de faire de la publicité d’aliments et de boissons s’adressant aux enfants) soit inscrit sur la liste prioritaire du Sénat et soumis au vote avant l’ajournement du Sénat, le 28 juin 2019.

Nous comprenons que diverses industries exercent des pressions considérables sur vous pour retarder l’adoption du projet de loi S-228 afin qu’il meure au Feuilleton lorsqu’une élection sera déclenchée cet automne. Ne permettez pas que les profits des entreprises l’emportent sur la santé et le bien-être de nos enfants et petits-enfants.

Nous vous prions, vous et vos collègues, d’appuyer cette importante mesure législative qui a été étudiée en profondeur au Sénat au cours des deux dernières années et adoptée par la Chambre des communes en septembre 2018.

Le projet de loi S-228 qui est fondé sur des données probantes constitue un élément essentiel d’une stratégie à plusieurs volets visant à protéger la santé des enfants.

Les régimes alimentaires riches en sucre, en gras et en sel sont aujourd’hui le principal facteur de risque de décès au Canada, avec des coûts dépassant 26 milliards de dollars par année. Les mécanismes d’autoréglementation de l’industrie sont insuffisants et il ne fait aucun doute que les enfants sont ciblés à un rythme alarmant par la publicité pour les aliments et les boissons riches en sucre, en gras et en sel.

Le projet de loi S-228 est une occasion sans précédent pour vous d’avoir un impact positif sur la santé des enfants et sur l’économie en renversant la tendance des maladies chroniques et en prévenant les coûts des systèmes de santé associés à ces maladies.

Nous croyons fermement en un Canada où la santé des enfants prime sur les profits des entreprises.

Il est temps d’adopter le projet de loi S-228.
