For instance, if there were a problem on a ship in the harbour, a problem about which everybody needed to be informed immediately, Senator Cordy was talking about Mr. Manual being able to communicate with anyone who was listening to a radio or television station by pressing a button and saying to the audience, ``There is a problem, do this,'' a type of early emergency warning system.
Le sénateur Cordy évoquait la possibilité, pour M. Manuel, de pouvoir communiquer, en appuyant sur une simple touche, avec toutes les personnes qui, à un moment donné, écoutent la radio ou regardent la télévision. Il s'agit de pouvoir, au moyen de ce genre de système, diffuser, en cas d'urgence, des conseils à la population.
