- Text of motion
- Whereas 93% of all Canadian homes now own television sets, and the average Canadian viewing in these homes is 43 hours a week,
- Whereas broadcasters and educators cannot avail themselves of competent research into the impact and effects of television upon Canadian society,
- Be It Resolved that this General Synod urges the Canadian Government to encourage the initiation of a program of research in this country similar to the Television Research Committee established in Britain in 1963 by the British Home Secretary to study the effects of mass communication on our society. CARRIED in both Houses.
