Madam Chair, obviously, any road in a community would be considered a highway under the definition. Therefore, any four-wheel vehicle, all-terrain vehicle would be on a highway, anywhere in that community. The only thing that appears to be exempt at this point in time, but it's not exempt if you look at it from the other way, is the skidoo. Skidoos use roads as well. Because it is a motor vehicle, it's not powered by muscle, it, too, would be included as having to have headlights on all the time, as long as it's on that road. Therefore, any vehicle in the small communities would have to have headlights on if they are on the road.
In my communities, that question always comes up on skidoos. In discussion with the by-law about all-terrain vehicles and skidoos, that particular question always comes up because, in the springtime people take their skidoo covers right off and run around with no covers, to keep the motors cold. On that, they tend to be in conflict with the laws. In most of the small communities, the law is left to the discretion of the officer, I suppose, and that's how they get around it.
I just wanted to bring that up, Madam Chair, because this thing has been discussed many, many times in small communities. The benefit of headlights on highways is worth all the small arguments in the communities. I would favour any vehicle having a headlight if it's required, particularly in the small communities. But I definitely favour headlights on at all times on highways. I will support the motion.
