Sent: January 20, 2015 To: [email protected] Subject: Bill C-648 Dear Mr. Hiebert, Last December, Conservative MP, Oakville’s Terence Young, tabled a private members bill, Bill C-648, or the Warning Labels for Radio Apparatus Act, that would require manufacturers to put warning labels on the outside packaging of cellphones and other electronic devices. As a constituent in your riding, I ask you to support this bill. The issue of harm from radio frequency technology has long been a concern to me. I know that you will be the recipient of lobbying tactics from the telecommunications and technology industries on this bill. I understand that the harm potential of our wireless telecommunications devices can be reduced, but industry is dragging their feet on implementing such measures, due to related cost. How can the health of our citizens come in second to the profits of industry?? While Health Canada refuses to update Safety Code 6 to align it with international standards to protect our citizens, we must take the precautionary principle into our own hands and give the users of technology warning to protect themselves. I enclose a couple of links to further educate you about the newest information about the harms that are related to our current wireless telecommunications devices: This first link is to a video of a few minutes length in which an individual, who speaks from personal experience, addresses his plea for attention to the issue to his local government. Very powerful. He developed cancer in 3 sites of his body...where he used and and carried his cell phone. This gentleman demonstrates the risk is very real. - citizensforsafetechnology.org/Jimmy-Gonzalez-Cell-Phones-Cause-Cancer,5,4098 And this link takes you to a 20 minute video of a talk by Dr. Leif Salford, neurosurgeon and researcher about Electromagnetic Fields and Leakage of the Blood Brain Barrier (and what that contributes to). Graphic and powerful information. - https://youtube/watch?v=E_WJ_aJPWIA Very clearly the precautionary principle should be inherent in our use of wireless technology. I strongly urge you to support Bill C-648. Sincerely,
