Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Transportation and have to do with the issuing of drivers' licences. I raise this question partly, Mr. Speaker, as a public service because of an unfortunate circumstance for a constituent of mine who had inadvertently allowed her driver's licence to lapse. The department, as a deficit cost cutting measure recently, in the last couple of years has stopped the practice of sending out notices for people to renew their driver's licence and also to renew their vehicle registrations and so, it is possible for a person's licence to lapse.
What I understand is, now the policy of the department, and I would like the Minister to clarify this for me that if a driver's licence does inadvertently lapse, when the person goes to have it renewed and, in fact, they have to start the entire process over again for requiring a driver's licence, with a written and driven exam. I would like the Minister to clarify if that is the case. Thank you.
