Craig, that is exactly the complacent attitude of manufacturers referred to earlier in this thread. Manufacturers should be concerned with any threat which may cause risk to their industry.

And well they might. But their income relies on being recognized as an engineer by the authorities. Hence, in a way they become "servants". In any case, the object of the exercise is to encourage a formal exemption to the legislation before some poor ICV builder has expended the money and effort in building an ICV and now hoping his engineer can obtain an exemption.

Craig, I find this statement rather disturbing. Are you simply saying you don't have 5 minutes to cut & paste an email off to the minister?.

I thought you did but your comments don't reflect that.
Craig, unless I have misread your comments I really do find your comments disturbing. You mention having spent "$10,000's dollars on compliance" which you either add to your clients costs or invest in "intelligence" for your business. Either way the cost will/can be amortized in some way in the business even if only via the tax system.
Are you expecting some poor individual to expend the same (ex pocket) if/when this legislation is not exempted for ICV's ?.
