(6) C4ST did a thorough investigation through Access to Information to get all records on the last update of Safety Code 6 in 2009. There are no emails or records of any kind about removing this sentence, despite this being one of the only changes made. A further complaint to the Information Commissioner’s office confirmed there were no records to explain why this line vanished.
Below is a copy of the letter from the ATI investigator.

Hello XXXXXXX,
I am writing in regards to your complaint filed with the Office of the
Information Commissioner concerning your request A-2011-00827:
(“Previously disclosed records under A-2011-00503 that read as follows:)
Request all submissions, emails, printed and electronic correspondence
sent or received by Health Canada concerning the 2009 update of Safety
Code 6 (Limits of Human Exposure to Radio-frequency Electromagnetic Energy
in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz)”
Please note that our office of primary interest, Healthy Environments and
Consumer Safety Branch- Environmental and Radiation Health Sciences
Directorate (HECSB- ERHSD) at Health Canada has confirmed that there are
no e-mails or written correspondence on why the sentence “Certain members
of the general public may be more susceptible to harm from microwave

We trust this information clarifies the matter.
