MURS / Garmin and Industry Canada
If you sent a letter into Industry Canada about Garmins and MURS. Industry Canada will be contacting you about releasing your letter under the Privacy Act.
An MP. James Moore from British Columbia has asked Industry Canada for all the information pertaining to this issue, he asked the same in the Commons on July 31,2014. Industry Canada will have to release their "science" and the feed back from you the hunters.
We can win this thing , get some more letters out .

Do you have a specific person or adress we should contact?
I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

The positive thing he is a PC and will not be trying to make a name for himself to get votes. He will be dealing with the issue.

You should have been to the hamfest the other weekend and you could have talk to Peter in person.
I and several others did, when we expressed concerns MURS could develop problems with people getting and using Amateur Radio VHF/UHF gear on the MURS band.
But if you like I can send one of your canned letter expressing my objection to MURS being allowed in Canada.
Don't freak....It's not the allowing use of MURS, hams are concerned about. It is the level of enforcement ( or lack of ) that violators would face, fines etc.
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

No MURS is not with in the ham bands.. But the equipment we use can be programmed/modified to operate on the MURS BAND.
What is the power allowed on MURS? Do you know?
How much power do you think some of the VHF/UHF ham gear can put out? No clue right?
I will give you a hint....My license class allows me 2500 watts PEP.
So if some one starts to use ham gear on MURS( This very same thing happened to GRS/CB ) and there is little if any enforcement, what kind of mess is that going to make.

The collars everyone uses for Garmin are set for a certain frequency and power from the factory and have been running in Canada for years. I some how find it hard to believe that the people on this site will be running there dogs with modified high wattage collars on the MURS band.
I was running my Garmin on the weekend at Hullet and I didn't crash any planes or set off any alarms maybe my Garmin radio death machine is defective.

There are handheld radios that are included in the MURS...
You did not crash any planes, but I think you were the guy with the two dogs that got lost and kept circling the northwest corner of Hullet till some duck hunters gave you a map and told you how to find your own car.

You must not know how a Garmin Astro works if you think it was me getting lost at Hullet.
