Please read the comment from Mr Roger Delorme - Bob and I just spoke with Roger who is in Florida. 

“Good news just came up. The fellow at transport Canada [Robert] just called me back and told me an anouncement will be delivered tomorow at around 10AM on our cars and trucks. I asked him if it was good news and he stated on my truck it will be a nice Christmas gift. That is all I know. Tune in to web site www.tc.gc.ca at ten AM December 19, 2007. Merry Christmas to all. ”

  An  Open letter to the Canadian Consumer! We wonder how many Newspapers will jeopardize their Car advertizing $$$$ and print this!   canadianconsumersbeware.pdf 

•   Today was a bit frustrating .  One of our members was called by the RIV and told to export her car? When asked to speak to the supervisor, she was passed onto a full voice-mail box.   horror-story-ii.pdf
• When we called to get an explanation concerning the expulsion request we were given the runaround by the RIV.  ( When asked to put the statement in writing, the individual indicated it might take some time, because it had to go through the legal department!)
• Our  calls to Senior TC folks concerning any announcement went unanswered.
• One of our members was told there  would be an announcment late in the week, but they would not state if the caller would be happy?
• So bottom line,…..it doesn’t look good for a positive Wednesday announcement!  Even if it did happen it might take up to 3 weeks just to get the RIV folks on the same page!
• Therefore we suggest that all of you spent a bit more effort and call Mr. Cannon’s Office.  Cannon.L@parl.gc.ca      (613) 991-0700

  Lawrence Cannon            (613) 990-2309  Remind him what he stated on November 30th “Our government is committed to ensuring safety on Canadian roads and highways,” said the Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. “This amendment will simplify and clarify the process for Canadians importing U.S. vehicles, to ensure those vehicles meet our requirements with respect to anti-theft immobilizers.”

• If you can’t get through to him, talk to his assistants…call his Gatineau number… Cannon, Lawrence  tell them them a announcement late in the week is unacceptable!  We have had enough!  We want our plates Now!

• In an effort to simplify and consolidate some of the information you have provided, we added a Page called Key Govt. Contact List  under the Get involved  Page on the right hand side. (let us know how we can improve the list carswithoutborders@hotmail.com)
