Good Afternoon,
For the past year C4ST and Canadians such as yourself have been working diligently to bring awareness to the industry conflicted panel at the Royal Society of Canada reviewing Safety Code 6. This morning in Ottawa, the review was made public. Click HERE to see our press conference and reaction.
As expected, despite phenomenal increases in technology use and resulting exposure to wireless radiation, the industry-conflicted panel chose to side with the profitable and powerful wireless industry and ignore domestic and worldwide published peer reviewed science warnings of related health risks.
This RSC review is an expensive exercise that was corrupted by industry and so is a waste of taxpayer dollars. In spite of the original panel chair having been forced to resign due to his previously un-disclosed industry conflict, the panel contrived to ignore important medical and scientific data. Without full disclosure of all panel member conflicts, this report’s findings are questionable at best. Rather than providing value to Health Canada, RSC’s rubber stamp leaves Canadians exposed to unprecedented risk.
At this time we call upon Health Canada to distance themselves from this industry review of Canada’s wireless safety codes, and publicly lay out the next steps in the review process they have publicly committed to.
Health Canada - "Following receipt of the report from the RSC, anticipated in March 2014, Health Canada will consult further with Canadians prior to finalizing the revised Safety Code 6."
Health Minister Ambrose is building a track record of improving transparency within Health Canada. This is a tremendous opportunity for her to direct that focus on the process used to update Safety Code 6. We ask you to please send Health Minister Ambrose encouragement to follow through on their commitment for Canadian's input before finalizing the review, and open up the process to a transparent look at the current research finding great harm at levels much less than Safety Code 6.
Sincerely,
Frank Clegg
CEO - C4ST
