ITU/CCIR Radio Propagation Measurements Progamme for Africa

For the benefit of the audience and for senators, I just want to bring back the terms of reference on which we are sitting here tonight, that the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications be authorized to receive senior management and officials of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to explain their decision to cut funding to Radio Canada International by 80 per cent — particularly in view of the importance of Radio Canada International as the voice of Canada around the world and because shortwave radio is oppressed in regions worldwide that are denied access to the Internet — and that the committee report to the Senate ...[+++] no later than June 30.

While it is difficult to measure worldwide audiences to shortwave, a 2009 study by former BBC shortwave expert Graham Mytton identified a significant drop in shortwave listeners to Radio Canada International, beginning in the 1980s and continuing through the 1990s.

What we want is to have a greater international presence, because Graham Mytton's study told us that in 2009, Radio Canada International was no longer a relevant player over shortwave, and even recommended that we go over to the Internet.

European and international studies[27] have been carried out on the safety aspects of Security Scanners or their underlying technology, including radio wave and ionising radiation exposure of persons being screened, operators and others who work in the vicinity of the systems.
