Mr. Chairman, just for the record, I realize that there are a lot of Members missing from the House to deal with the issue. I also realize that there are a lot of communities in which they don't have paved streets. Practically all of them don't. For those communities, I would like to say that this does pose maybe an unfair advantage. If you are looking at it, I guess, from the point of law, and you say that, having paved streets in Yellowknife lets the people there not to worry about dirty plates. But all the other communities that do have that are at a disadvantage. For the record, I would like to say that, if by chance, you are parked in front of the Bay and the RCMP says to you, your licence plate is dirty, clean them, you have no choice but to do it. But it puts you at a disadvantage because you don't have soap and water that you carry around with you, nor is the Bay going to provide that service. Also, Mr. Chairman, in a year's time, I use up about 80,000 kilometres, so that is a lot of wiping I would have to do in order to not break this section of the Motor Vehicles Act. So I think the Minister should be aware that keeping this section as it is puts a lot of people at a disadvantage, if they ever use that section. Thank you.
