Dear Prime Minister Harper and Hon. MacKay, Attorney General and Minister of Justice,
Re: Convention on the Rights of the Child and Industrial Wind Energy
Ms Correia and I have taken the opportunity to communicate some of the risk factors of exposing fetuses, babies, children, youth and those with special needs to noise and other emissions associated with industrial wind energy facilities. We provided a snapshot of evidence indicating some members of this vulnerable population group with pre-existing medical conditions could also be at risk. In some cases, vulnerable children are expected to be exposed at home, at school or both.
This letter is public and may be shared.
During our correspondence, we cited the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We now note that a recent Supreme Court of Canada Judgment considered the Convention on the Rights of the Child. [Judgment and Reasons, The Hon. Justice MacTavish, Canadian Doctors for Refugee Care, The Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, Daniel Garcia Rodriques, Hanif Ayubi and Justice for Children and Youth v. Attorney General of Canada and Minister of Citizenship and Immigration]
Ms Correia has urged that the Government of Canada take immediate measures to ensure health protection from wind energy facilities for her son and Canadian children.
We have requested a meeting with Minister Peter McKay and look forward to the opportunity to share our concerns and provide some of the evidence relating to this complex topic.
Respectfully submitted,
Carmen Krogh, BScPharm
