GI-2026-41-reg2: Radiocommunication Act Exemption Order (Jammers — Certain Law Enforcement Agencies)

Businesses that supply jammers or jammer-related services stand to benefit, as the Order opens up a legal market to sell, lease, demonstrate, and service jamming equipment for these 27 police services across Canada. Suppliers can now respond to bids, conduct product demonstrations, and fulfill contracts without violating the Radiocommunication Act — something previously impossible without an exemption. Compliance costs for suppliers are expected to be minor and mainly involve secure storage of jammers, providing contact information to the government, and operating demonstrations only during weekday business hours under law enforcement supervision. The exact number of businesses affected is unknown, but both large and small suppliers are in scope, with the government acknowledging that small business impacts will be low-cost given the straightforward conditions and minimal reporting requirements.
