can pass heads up

[carl schenk]

Before hanging up with the can pass people I asked the woman if I had to report in anymore. I was told that until the new rule is actually put onto the books calling in is still expected.  She said it will probably be around two weeks before we can discontinue.

This isn't true from what I have been told.  It is already a law and the enforcement officials on the water already know it is a law.

I wrote to a Parliament Rep Gord Brown,

This was the response I received:

"Thank you for your email. While the Bill has passed and received Royal Assent, which means it is now the law, the information may take some time to filter through to individual CBSA offices and staff.

Mr. Brown is sending a memo to the Public Safety Minister today to request that the information be passed along as quickly as possible.
