1. I know I and others have the right story because out of the several papers which ran the story only the Star reported it was at the very preliminary stages. Here is an example of two papers which didn't get it right. http://m.torontosun.com/2012/08/15/cana ... regulation http://www.saultstar.com/2012/08/17/cer ... rs-college 2. What makes you think I have not taken it upon myself along with others to contact CSA in regards to the matter? I and others have had to undertake letter writing before in order to get the real truth. So the truth is not in the middle at least in your ability; the truth is is on the side of accuracy. Something in short supply with your group. 3. Thats right a MOU, big difference from a fet a compli and no one is disputing the MOU. Its the manner in which the press releases from your camp portrayed it. Perhaps purposely done in order to send naive inspectors into the arms of NHICC. 4. I am all for unification of the industry, but I firmly believe there should be no embellishments and ALL parties must be involved. Something you and your party seem to omit on a continual basis and have previously inferred those not in your camp are 'cowboys'. Fractured industry is an understatement and we all know why its fractured. 5. Yes I am aware of the Sept. 12 mandate, as I will be a participant. 6. Also see - CSA Did What? http://www.oahi.com/english/news/oahi-m ... t-2012.htm Thank you for the attempts to clarify the matter its sorely needed.

How do you, Raymond Wand, know that this article 'got it right' and the others did not? I don't recall you being at any of the meetings. Neither the CSA nor the NHICC is going to lay all the cards on the table until more details are worked out between them, so I suspect we'll need to wait a few months for the results of the upcoming meetings. As with most journalism efforts, there are several versions of the same story, and the truth is somewhere in the middle. The bottom line is that the CSA and the NHICC have a signed MOU and no matter how you try to diminsih its value, it is very meaningful for those involved. Hopefully it can lead to some semblance of unity in a very fractured industry. BTW, the Stakeholders' meeting on Sept. 12 is for a totally different project. It has nothing to do with the agreement and project between the CSA and the NHICC. It has more to do with a request from the Province of Alberta to study a new common Standard of Practice for all of Canada. Bill Mullen
