Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this particular question was taken to the Department of Transportation and we've been advised that it would require a change of the legislation to allow for such a licence plate. Although there may be some complications with actually keeping track of the licence plates afterwards, it was not recommended by Transportation that we do this. They recommended, and I believe both departments agreed, that the only way to go would be with front licence plates, rather than back licence plates and so long as they didn't have the NWT polar bear image on it, there would be no problem with creating such a licence plate. In that case, Transportation would have no issue at all with the licence plate. That was what we took back to the Member and to the fire departments for consideration. I know it's not what the Member recommended, but it's basically what the department arrived at as the only possible way we could respond to the question. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
