Mr. Speaker, when we went to a system where drivers' licences are issued every five years, then we stopped giving notice to people on the driver's licence. Because of the change that seemed to happen over five years, it seemed to be an impossible task to track people down. On the vehicle registration, there's a sticker that they have that is very noticeable and they will certainly get a warning if they don't put the sticker on. They will probably get a fine if they haven't renewed it and are still driving their vehicle around. The onus is on the driver and on the vehicle owner to ensure that the registration and licences are all up to date. I will discuss with my department the possibility of doing more advertising and public awareness on this, but going back to a system of mailing out notification, I don't think they can go there. It didn't work before. Thank you.
