The Driver Licence
Classification prpgram was
announced this week in the
Legislature by the Minister of
Transportation and Com-
munications, Mr. James
Snow, ' to become T effective
February 1, 1977,
'With these new regulations,
every driv,er,, no matter what
type of - vehicle he or she
drives, will have a driver's
licence relating to a specific
class, and he or she will be
permitted to operate only the
vehicles indicated in .that
class.
The . Chauffeur's licence
classification will'" 'be'•
discontinued. Being paid to ,
drive will no longer be a
factor,in ' the new licence
syste. Instead, .a11 drivers
will.be •categorized, depen-
din.on the characteristics of
the vehicle driven: .
Drivers of cars, light trucks
and motorcycles need take no
action to obtain new licences.
When their present licences
expire, they will
automatically- receivethe
new type of licence. However,
bus drivers,. truck drivers and
companies are urged to take
action now to obtain
replacement licences.
Presently licensed school
bus drivers must convert to a
Class. B or E licence., which in .
the new system applies to
large or small school buses. It
will • also be necessary for
school bus drivers- who have
not already done so, to takea
defensive driving course. :.4
Drivers of heavier vehicles,
such as commercial , buses
and trucks or tractor -trailers,
will be reclassified under the
new program. As drivers. of
, such heavy commercial
vehicles are subject to a great
deal .more physical, mental
and emotional strain than are.
for • instance car drivers',
these operators will have to
meet higher health and vision
standards. They. will 'also. .
have to file periodic. medical
reports to confirm that they
are continuing to meet such
standards.
Drivers holding a Class A,
B, C, E ,or F licence' must
provide a sat'isf'actory
medical report every three
years to age '65 and annually;
thereafter. Class D drivers, .
'although required to file a
medical report initially with
their applications are not
included on a cyclical basis.
Medical reports may be
required at any time from
any driver for driver control
purposes.
The -. new regulations
provide for a one year con-
version for .those, who wish to
upgrade their licences on the
basis of their driving ex-
perience. .
The new driver licence
classifications are: -
Class "A'" - Any Tractor -
trailer. or truck trailer
combination. Mayalso drive
vehicles in Class D and G.
Class "B" Any school bus.
May also drive vehicles ' in
Class C, D, E, F and G.
Class "C" - Any bus, but not
a school bus. May also drive
vehicles in Class D. F and G.

capacity. May also drive
vehicles in Class F and G.

Class. "G" - Any

`pose of giving instructions in

tions such as time of day,

Ottawa East Liberal MPP
Albert Roy called upon the
Government to lay criminal
charges against the OPP, for
bugging a privileged con-
versation between an accused
killer and his lawyer last
Easter, without legal.
authority. He• said there are
1'
transcripts of the tapped
conversation in the Lanark
County Jail superintendent's
office .between ° Donald
Turner, subsequently found
guilty of non -capital murder,
and his defence lawyer Mike
Quigley, although neae of the
iriformation received was
used in the Turner trial.

During a heated exchange
on this subject, Mr. Roy
called upon the Solicitor.
General to produce the
authorization specifying that
a communication' between
Turner and his solicitor could
be intercepted, and asked
how the Minister could, as the
senior, law officer of the
Crown, qtavoid taking a..
position on • this matter. The
Solicitor -General stated he
was. prohibited .by -the
Criminal • Code from tabling
the authorization in question.
When Mr. Roy . challenged
this statement, the Minister
accused the-irllember of being.
irresponsible. The. Speaker
subsequently refused to allow
Mr. Roy • to - read . the full
relevant section . of the
Criminal Code, because the
time for oral question period
had • expired, and the matter
threatened to develop into a
debate. .
Mr. Roy said the courts had
alregdy. ruled that the order
in question was • a public•
document, and that the
Minister was uiisleading the
Rouse. The Speaker . asked
Mr. Roy to withdraw his
remark and when, he refused
to do so, the Sergeant at Arms
escorted him from the House.
As a result of Mr. Roy's
initiative, the• Attorney
~General ' has assuried.
everyone that a directive will '
go out to the proper
authorities ensuring that
