Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I was informed by a spokesperson for the NWT Seniors' Association that the annual renewal of the registration for vehicles had gone up from a nominal fee of $1 to $30 for elders. I realize that an increase of $29 may not be a large amount in the grand scheme of things, but for a senior it may become quite a burden given the fixed income they have. I would like to direct a question to the Minister responsible for Transportation. Given the value that we place on our elders and seniors, I would like to ask the Minister, what was the rationale for reassessing the nominal fee and raising it to $30?
