| Does the Government Adequately Protect Public Health? |
| Sunday 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM, 205 |
Moderator: Helke Ferrie Our society expects that the role of Provincial and Federal authorities is to protect public health. However, Public Policy can take precedence over Public Health when it is perceived by governments and society as a whole, that the benefits outweigh the risks. In some cases, Public Policy fails to meet that standard and puts Public Health at risk. Magda and Carmen will present actual examples where Public Health has been put at risk as a result of past and present Policies, for example: tobacco, leaded gas, tainted blood, cell phones, cell towers, compact fluorescent light bulbs, industrial wind turbines, etc. |
