Take it up with Paul Stanek in the National Office.  He is the guy right
below Richard Marriott that made this ruling.

On a informative note.
What does it take to become Red Cross Certified?  Why don't we have

I have been through over 5,  8 hour long days on firstaid cpr in my 20
years with the SWBell Telephone.  
We keep it current now every 3 years.
