🇨🇦 RRT SUBMITS FORMAL RESPONSE TO ISED CANADA

The EM Radiation Research Trust (RRT) has submitted detailed reply comments to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) concerning proposed changes to Canada's tower-siting and public consultation process.

📄 Our submission was sent on 6 October 2026 and receipt has been confirmed by ISED.

Our response focuses on the proposed move towards greater digitalisation of public consultation and the possibility of reducing the consultation period.

We emphasise that telecommunications deployment must not come at the expense of:

• Meaningful public consultation
• Sufficient time for proper scrutiny
• Accessibility and inclusion
• Independent verification of technical documentation
• Public safety
• Consideration of vulnerable people and medical implants
• Environmental and cumulative considerations
• Local knowledge and community participation
• Transparency and accountability

The submission also draws on more than two decades of the RRT's work, including UK parliamentary debates, scientific literature, legal cases and our previous international submissions concerning telecommunications infrastructure and public protection.

Our central message is simple:

Meaningful consultation requires meaningful time.

Digitalisation can improve access to information, but it should not become a substitute for effective public notification or meaningful local participation.

We have made the full submission available on our website.

Emma Duerden, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Neuroscience and Learning Disorders at Western University explains how deeply social media engages the developing teenage brain, interacting with systems responsible for reward, emotion, and impulse control at a particularly sensitive stage of growth.

Her work offers an important lens through which we can better support and protect youth, recognizing both their vulnerability and their need for thoughtful guidance in an increasingly digital world.

It is with profound concern and hope that CE4ST acknowledges a recent Los Angeles jury verdict finding Meta Platforms and YouTube negligent in the design and operation of their social media platforms. In this landmark case addressing social media addiction and youth harm, the jury awarded the plaintiff $3 million in damages, assigning 70% responsibility to Mega and 30% to YouTube.

This case represents the first in a consolidated wave of litigation involving more than 1,600 plaintiffs, including over 350 families and more than 250 school districts. It signals a growing recognition of the profound impact these platforms may have on young people and raises urgent questions about responsibility, safety, and the duty to protect vulnerable users.

A new school year brings a great opportunity to set new family rules around screen time.

Thank you, Dr. Dunkley, for your guidance! Be sure all screens are turned OFF too, especially at night, to reduce the radiation exposure so the body can heal while we sleep.
