Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is a fee to have a drivers licence. As well as registering your vehicle, there are fees for a lot of things in this government and the driver's licence fee is, whatever we get out of it goes into the general revenue of this government. Certainly the intention here by the department was to look at it as a budget reduction exercise where we eliminated some of our own people who were providing that service and now a private contractor is providing that service. Yes, it is an attempt to, on the part of the Department of Transportation, to help out in dealing with the deficit. Thank you.
