*Canada Proposes to add 5 MHz and to keep five existing domestic channels*

http://wp.rac.ca/proposed-revisions-to-the-canadian-table-of-frequency-allocations/

The Government of Canada has just released a consultation document to 
implement the changes from World Radio Conference 2015 (WRC-15) 
including 60 metres. Note that these are in addition to continuing the 
domestic allocation of five channels congruent with the United States.

The announcement was made in *Gazette Notice SMSE-005-17* which can be 
found at http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf11254.html

The consultation document “Proposed Revisions to the Canadian Table of 
Frequency Allocations (2017 edition)” is available at: 
http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf11306.html

The consultation is the first step in the process for regulatory 
changes. After the 60-day period, responses are tabulated, made public 
and the regulator Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada 
(ISED) then determines how to proceed – with no fixed schedule it can be 
months or much longer.

Please note that even when these are added to the Canadian Table of 
Frequency Allocations, until RBR-4 – Standards for the Operation of 
Radio Stations in the Amateur Radio Service RBR-4 (regulations for 
Amateur Radio) is updated to include them, they would not available for 
Amateur use.

I hope this may be helpful to us to use as an example to 
other International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 2 countries to 
convince them to both keep any existing 60m domestic allocation and add 
the ITU allocation as well.
