We respectfully submit to Members of the House of Commons Standing
Committee on Health (HESA), that the Committee urgently recommend to
Parliament that:

1) In light of information recently brought to its attention via the
HESA Committee, Parliament announce in the shortest delay its serious
concern about exposure of Canadians to electromagnetic radiation under
prevailing Health Canada guidelines;

2) the Government urgently examine possible dangers and remedies in
depth and commit to prompt remedial and protective measures;

3) Industry Canada declare an immediate moratorium on new
telecommunications installations;

4) Industry Canada order immediate provisional reductions in maximum
allowable radiative output of cell mast antennae, such that public
exposure levels be at least commensurate with the most stringent
guidelines or regulations found anywhere internationally, subject to
further revision downward in accordance with continuous monitoring of
health effects at even these lower levels;

5) Health Canada issue warnings, particularly regarding more
vulnerable segments of the population, recommending minimization of
exposure to electromagnetic radiation from all sources;

6) Parliament declare a period dedicated to public awareness of
electromagnetic sensitivity, as has been done elsewhere;

7) the Government widely advertise these warnings in non-governmental
publications, including enumeration of various types of radiofrequency
emitters, in consideration of the general lack of information among
the general public about these matters;

8) Parliament amend the Telecommunications Act and Radiocommunication
Act to explicitly refer to health and safety, and to admit provincial
and thus indirectly municipal ability to affect, on health and
environmental basis, the operation and installation of
telecommunications equipment;

9) as long as Canadians are afflicted by electromagnetic sensitivity,
involving "debilitating responses to [...] electromagnetic
radiation" (as described for example in a 2007 report published by the
Canadian Human Rights Commission), and provincial authorities feel
constrained from dealing with these issues, there be federally
arranged establishment of zones of refuge of extremely low presence of
electromagnetic radiation for those afflicted, with appropriate
support and access to services;

10) Health Canada include in research and deliberation learned
adherents of complementary medical traditions, in light of the
inability of prevailing conventional biomedical research to
sufficiently account for the effects of electromagnetic radiation, and
in the expectation that valuable insight from such complementary
bodies of knowledge would assist with overcoming this inability;

11) research into the effects of electromagnetic radiation on flora
and fauna be conducted under federal auspices;

12) a Joint Parliamentary Committee be created, involving at least
members from the Standing Committees on Environment and Sustainable
Development, on Health and on Industry, Science and Technology, to
address the governance of the effects of electromagnetic pollution in
Canada, to possibly arrange for the transfer of such oversight to the
Environment Ministry;

13) the Electricity and Gas Inspection Act be amended to prohibit
wireless transmissions from most utility meters, such as are deployed
throughout Canada adding to electromagnetic pollution;

14) a Royal Commission examine the dangers of too close participation
of commercial and military interests in biomedical research, in light
of such close association having led to dismissal or neglect of well-
established deleterious bioeffects of electromagnetic radiation, as
well as to influence against such comprehensive research;

15) privileged federal funding be provided for research and
development of safe alternatives, some already in existence, to all
existing possibly dangerous microwave technologies;

16) a significant new federal levy on all telecommunications goods and
services involving possibly dangerous electromagnetic radiation be
raised, to help offset the continual and steady increase in
provincially-borne health care costs since the mass deployment of such
technology in the late 1990s;

17) the Government ban public advertisement with intent to induce
acquisition or use of such technologies, whereby vulnerable segments
of the population would be encouraged to expose themselves to possibly
dangerous forms and levels of electromagnetic radiation;

18) this list of recommendations be not considered exhaustive in
general description of action required by the Government of Canada to
perform the utmost service of protection of its citizens from the
potential harms of exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

"A battle is brewing on Parliament Hill over whether mobile phones, wi-fi networks and cell towers emit too many harmful microwaves."

Don't be put off if you hear classical music -- that stops after a short time and the session begins.

Check out this video RETA put together about high voltage power lines http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2JoYdo1kk8. Also, if you could pass it on to everyone you know and ask them to pass it on to everyone they know etc., I’d much appreciate it. This issue needs awareness, not just here in Alberta but everywhere.
