I'm glad to see OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt and Mark Graves on this panel. I've their his interractions with Ontario's towing industry and he seems to fair, impartial and informed. I think their problem is far outside the autoclub environment, but it represents a start is quelling Ontario's problems with rogue towers.  Good luck with the panel forum.    R.

Can anyone in the Ontario region give insight as to whether or not this meeting came to conclusions, changes, expectations? Mr. Graves?     R.
