I think you guys are right.

I double checked with the city of Ottawa website's info on traffic violations, and the it said that the red light cameras are under the city's jurisdiction, not the provincial government. It also said that your insurance company isn't notified, you just pay the $180 fine and say you were guilty. The website also said that the camera won't take your picture if you enter the intersection during the amber light.

So yeah, fingers crossed I'm in the clear.
