Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am glad to hear that the department is working on it and hope to have something come forward fairly quickly on this, but it is an issue that I think needs some public awareness on as well, because it leads to not only changes of identity, but also in losses in revenues, and people can access different things with different identities. So I think one of the big areas that is happening is that people tend to leave their driver's licence, their registration, their insurance cards in their vehicles, and the number of vehicles that are being stolen today lead to that information being out there. So I am wondering if the department is doing any public awareness campaign to make owners of vehicles, drivers to not leave those pieces of information in their vehicles for that very reason. Once people have them, they can do all kinds of things with that information. I don't even know what the laws are around leaving all of that information in your vehicle, or taking it out, but I think it is an area that should be addressed. Is the department doing anything to make the public aware of that? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
