Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thanks to everybody who presented today.
I'm just going to go straight to Dr. Johansson's question.
Dr. Johansson, this is the second set of hearings we've had. What has emerged is that some intervenors have said there is no research that is causing concern such that there need to be limitations or any changes to the protocols around the use of cellphones or EMF. Others have said that there are thousands of studies showing cause for concern, precautionary action should be taken, and waiting for incontrovertible proof might take decades.
For a committee that has a responsibility on behalf of the public to address potential health concerns, certainly it has been very, very mixed testimony. We will be doing a report and making recommendations to Health Canada, and we as a committee are trying to understand what those recommendations should be.
I would like you to address that question. From your research and the information that you have from your institute, is there enough reason to be concerned and to apply some precautionary principles on this issue? Or do your institute and your work conclude that there's no concern in terms of impacts on people and their health?
