Communities shouldn't suffer simply because of a select handful of people with poor attention spans.

Cellphones are not the problem. Driver training is. Address the true issue.

I want to protect our Amateur Radio Bands and I don't want see it destroyed. Amateur Radio is a key part of Emergency communications across the country and provides countless hours of Volunteer work to communities across Canada.

I want Industry Canada to once again support and protect our Amateur Bands.

Iwould be willing to pay for a license renewal fee to insure that our hobby is protected and enforcement action be taken against those who violate regulations

RAC does not have the people and the amateurs do not have the authority. I was afraid of this after the license fee was dropped. I am a past president of CARF, now RAC, and put a lot of time and effort into the regulations etc.
Amateurs provide emergency service and need support from the licensing authority. What do we do with illegal operations of amateur equipment, or radio inteference.
If you do not police the spectrum, why issue a license

A good and fair infrastructure is the key to a society that is law abiding. I wonder what would happen to the safety of motorists if we did away with traffic control.
Thank you for taking the time and spending the energy to making an informed decision.
Sincerely yours.

Preservation of the spectrum for public use is important for many reasons.

It should not be constrained by monetary issues.
