Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I think I’ve raised this in committee but I’d like to raise it here again. I know there’s concern out in the public, especially amongst taxi drivers. I think people are aware, over the years we’ve had cases where taxi drivers have been in situations where they’ve been strapped in their car with their seatbelts fastened and attacked by passengers, and seatbelts have been such an encumbrance that there is the opportunity for serious injury or the occasion for serious injury to the taxi drivers. In recognition of that, I know quite a number of jurisdictions -- I think about eight in Canada -- have passed legislation in acts such as this that allow the taxi drivers to forego the use of seatbelts when they have passengers, for that very reason of safety. I’m just, for the record, wondering if the Minister has considered this in this amendment to this act and where we’re going from that. I think it’s a valid point that deserves some recognition and action. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
