Hi Yo,

Yes I edited, but it IS "Equals or exceeds" these days.

As you state it is as the company currently interprets it.

I have a sneaking suspicion it is a misinterpretation- note the reference says "Extend A hold over time if the applicable MINIMUM hold over time".

To me, a MAXIMUM holdover time is still a holdover time.

Thus if the minimum hold over time is less than 20 minutes, you can't extend the MAXIMUM hold-over time. If it equals or exceeds 20 minutes, you CAN extend the maximum holdover time, but require an external PCI.

I may be dead wrong, but the semantics seem to imply this- thus I wondered what other operators do.

I've been through the Transport Canada docs, and can't find any reference to the 20 minutes minimum hold-over. Can anyone point to a source doc for that, or reference a paragraph in the Canadian docs?
