This has been overturned. Here's RAC Bulletin 2012-050-1E – Re-in stateme
nt of Volunteer Examiner Qualifications

(can be found at http://blog.rac.ca/?p161)

2012-08-29

Industry Canada has advised the Radio Amateurs of Canada that the Volunteer
Examiner Qualifications of VA3MPM have been re-instated. Mr. Myers was the
subject of a previous bulletin announcing his qualifications had been revo
ked.

The information regarding the revocation of the qualifications was provide
d to RAC by Alan McLean, a Spectrum Management Officer with the Amateur Rad
io Service Centre of Industry Canada.

Mr. McLean now indicates that he spoke in error yesterday regarding Mr. Mye
rs. Mr. McLean now indicates that the qualifications were suspended but th
en were re-instated a couple of weeks ago. It appears that Mr. McLean reli
ed on a database of examiners which incorrectly showed the qualifications a
s suspended. Mr. McLean further indicates that a task has been assigned in
side of Industry Canada to update the database to show the qualifications a
re no longer suspended.

Understandably, Mr. McLean does not wish to further discuss the matter publ
icly at this time.

The Radio Amateurs of Canada shares the concerns of Mr. Myers that incorrec
t information regarding his work as a volunteer examiner was provided by In
dustry Canada to not only the Radio Amateurs of Canada but also to several
members of the public.
