Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The information that will be captured in this database will be in relation to driving history and any infractions from other jurisdictions. So this information can be shared across the borders, so we can do follow-up. That is the rationale for having a waiting period when a driver comes in for a renewal from a different jurisdiction, or comes to apply for a driver's licence. There is waiting period. There is a temporary assignment of a driver's licence and then once we do all the checks and balances, the driver's licence is mailed to that person. This is so we can do a follow-up and make sure that this person has a clean driving record, or has no requirement for us not to issue a permit. Thank you.
