Charlie Angus on 911 Service

The Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission is being asked to ensure 911 coverage is available across Canada.

911 cell phone service is spotty and unreliable in many parts of the far north.

NDP MP Charlie Angus says the CRTC needs to come up with a coherent plan dealing with the emergency service.

Angus notes the current CRTC policy on wireless 911 calls impedes effective location based emergency dispatch service.
