So it looks pretty much as I thought - keep within the bandwidth limits, use whatever modulation technique that you want! Cool!
I got my Digital Radio Operators Certificate in 1979. Even then, DOC/IC/whatever they call it today was moving towards this destination. As usual, government takes time to move. :-)
I'm in California now, so I have to live within the intersection of the Canadian and US regs, so not so wide open here. It would be wonderful if the US government could be convinced to adopt similar regulations.
[I do need to go get my US licence - it's on my (very extended) 'to do' list...]

Richard,
The simplified changes that I am aware of make Amateur Radio Experimentation easier in Canada in as much as the regulations^[1][2] limit the bandwidth use and input power. The rest is left to coordination with neighboring frequency reuse (such as repeater councils) and agreed band plans[3] (RAC/ARRL/etc).
