Thank you, Mr. Chairman. From a slightly different point of view, actually, I support that change. It was actually something I brought to the Minister’s attention probably about four years ago with a concern raised from the constituency where people can follow along the vehicle, obviously, in front of them and they can’t see with the snow covering their taillights. Then they have to see that it’s the motion of the vehicle that’s slowed them down. It makes it very difficult. I would see it as a consistent policy.
On the other hand, I would also see that Mr. Krutko has a point, which is you just drive for six or more hours on the Dempster and it’s all dusty or whatnot. I suspect it’s been my experience that most of our RCMP officials use enough discretion and latitude to look at the situation as it applies. I have no worry about it being applied fairly and consistently. So I support the amendment as suggested going forward.
The one area I’d like to have some clarification on, and it speaks to the second page of the Minister’s opening remarks, and it refers to the example of right-hand drive vehicles. I’m just trying to understand exactly what this means and what this will mean going forward for people who have right-hand drive vehicles on the road, as well as those who would like to register new right-hand drive vehicles going forward. If the Minister could provide some clarification as to what that’s supposed to mean.
