Station to close May 10th despite ongoing parliamentary study

Even though there is a parliamentary study in progress, which will have resulting recommendations and "ongoing audio quality issues at other MCTS centres are so serious that the safety of vessels and the coastline are at risk", the closure of the communications at Comox is slated for May 10th, 2016. "The Coast Guard is acting without the input of Parliament and against the vigorous objection of front line communications officers who know the risks better than anyone else."
