This petition draws attention to the 2015 report of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health entitled Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation and the Health of Canadians. The questions in the petition specifically relate to the report’s Recommendation 7: “That the Government of Canada establish a system for Canadians to report potential adverse reactions to radiofrequency fields.” The petition refers to statements by the Minister of Health in the government response to the report which was tabled in 2016.
The petition seeks details on the information Health Canada obtained from monitoring international literature. The petition requests the number of incident reports received from existing web-based reporting systems since June 2015 and questions whether they are publicly accessible.
The petition asks what Health Canada and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada have done to promote information sharing among all levels of government and seeks the specific information that was shared. It also questions when this information was shared and whether it is publicly accessible.
The petition also asks what other measures have been taken regarding Recommendation 7 since the committee’s report was made public.
