Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon. Mr. Speaker, I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister responsible for Transportation. Recently, Mr. Speaker, a number of my constituents complained to me about receiving tickets from the RCMP for failing to have vehicle licences. In fact, their plates had expired, the reason being that they were never notified that the plates were expiring. The police apparently made enquiries and they were told by the department that there was a glitch in the computer system that had prevented them from doing that.

I would like to ask the Minister if he's aware of this problem and if he could see to it that some corrections are made forthwith, not so much because of the inconvenience, but it brings people into conflict with the law as a result of this.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wasn't aware of this problem. I'll have it looked into and if there was a glitch in the computer system, we'll have that corrected post-haste. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to further direct a question to the Minister concerning the notification of renewals. I would like to ask the Minister whether it is a policy of the department to issue renewals. I've looked into the matter and in Alberta, it has been a policy for the last little while. I would like to ask if this is a policy in the territories as well.

Mr. Speaker, I don't believe that we give notice of renewals of licences at this time. Do we? I'm not sure about the answer to this question, so I'll take it as notice. Thank you.
