An Act Respecting the Prevention of Potential Health Risks
From Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation
On Monday January 19th 2015 Oakville Member of Parliament Terence Young announced multi-party support for his Private member’s Bill requiring manufacturers of wireless devices to place health warnings labels on their packaging.
Terence Young is known for championing a new Law enacted in 2014 requiring pharmaceutical companies to better label serious side effects from their pills. The law, known as Vanessa’s Law, was passed after Young’s teenage daughter Vanessa died of a heart attack from a medication she was taking. On the heels of that improvement in safety warnings on pharmaceuticals, Young has now shifted his focus to warning labels on cell phones and other wireless devices because they are determined to be a possible carcinogen by the World Health Organization (2011 Class 2b) the same category as lead and DDT.
“This is not a partisan Bill, it is one that affects every party,” said Young. “Members across Canada are hearing from our constituents that they don’t want our amazing twenty first century communications to cause a twenty first century health crisis. It’s time to label the packages with the same warnings the manufacturers already put in fine print.”

I am recovering from cancer and my neighbour has a Ham Radio which is a totally horrrible form of Radio Frequency Radiation and he does not care about my health or the health of three little children living right beside him. He also has a marine satillte on his property that belongs on ships and usses it to uplink to the internet and that again maxs out some heavy duty frequencies into our neighbourhood. Industry Canada representatives say it is fine under that way of our date safety Code 6 which measures thermal thissue damage not cells of the body and blood and brain, which other studies have proven.
I am outraged that I have to move, leave my beautiful home because of him.
All while healing from cancer. Our government doesnt protect me or the little children living by him. The brueau of radiation protection / Health Canada only emailed me never called me after many calls to them and their email was a general statement that everything is safe according to Safety Code 6.
What a horrible response. It goes against my human rights to live by a man whose hobby over rides my healing, health and well being and for all in our neighbourhood.
I am asking that all forms of RF’s be removed from neighbourhoods , smart meters and ham radios and marine satillites used to uplink to the internet. What beliongs on a ship does not belong plugged in persons backyard. It points directly into my home and he does not care how I feel about it.
Terence Young you are wonderful for bringing this to parliament
