The Chair Conservative Joy Smith

We'll read it out then, with the friendly amendment:

That since the regulation of radiation emitting devices related to radio and telecommunications, such as wireless phones and their phone base stations is the responsibility of Industry Canada, and since members of this Committee requested that an Industry Canada representative appear in relation to the Committee's study of the potential health effects of electromagnetic radiation emitting devices, therefore this Committee strongly requests the presence of Industry Canada at the next meeting concerning this study.

(Motion agreed to)

Again, thank you to the witnesses. As you know, when the bells ring we absolutely have to run. My apologies for this interruption, but your insightful comments were very useful. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
