Dear Erica,
Can you please tell me if you've heard back from Waterloo ethics yet?
If you have not heard back, have you had any indication of when your application will be evaluated, and/or when the response is to be expected.
Thanks,

Dear Dr. Mann,
We did not seek a legal opinion on interpretation of sections 11 and 13 of the Health Protection and Promotion Act, therefore, we are not providing the names of the individuals we spoke to. The extent of their involvement was to direct us to the Ontario Superior Court ruling on the matter. If you disagree with the information I have provided, you can seek a legal opinion from a lawyer. I have attached the court rulings to this email in case you missed them in the previous email. Both documents are publicly available.
Thank
Erica

Hello Richard,
As outlined in the Tri-Council Policy Statement the role of a research ethics committee is to review the ethical acceptability of research involving human participants and to provide guidance and recommendations to the investigators to ensure the research study adheres to the Policy Statement. The Committee’s concerns are to be focused on the ethical treatment of participants while participating in the study. It is not the Committee’s mandate to speculate about the potential study outcomes or to make a determination if wind turbines are harmful or beneficial. Once the study has received ethics clearance we will continue to share information with the community including any changes that were made to the study protocols based on the Committee’s recommendations. We recognize that the information is of great interest to community members.
Thanks
Erica
