>The Radio Amateurs of Canada are today
>announcing written confirmation from Minister
>Bob Chiarelli of the Ontario Provincial
>Government regarding a five year extension of
>exemption to the Ontario distracted driving law.
>In his letter, Minister Chiarelli explains that
>the current exemptions for both Amateur Radio
>and Two Way Commercial Radios will be extended until January 1st, 2018.
>
>Minister Chiarelli expresses his hope that in
>that time commercial hands free alternatives
>will be found for two way radios. While RAC
>finds victory in the five year extension, a
>permanent solution is desired and required.
>
>The Radio Amateurs of Canada will continue to
>pursue a permanent exemption for Amateur Radio
>operators in Ontario. Similar exemptions already
>exist in many other provincial jurisdictions in
>Canada - thanks in part to the efforts of local
>amateurs and RAC's national strategy to address distracted driving legislation.

>The Radio Amateurs of Canada is Canada's
>national voice for Amateur Radio. Our efforts
>not only promote the Amateur Radio Service but
>protect it from regulatory interference that may
>lead to less capability to provide emergency
>communications. Not already a RAC member? Why
>not join today at www.rac.ca and find out about
>the many benefits our members enjoy across the country and the world beyond.
