Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, Minister. Thank you for coming today.
My first question is about the funds allocated under the supplementary estimates to a program whose purpose is to enhance driver's licences in order to provide easier access to the United States. Eight hundred and twenty thousand dollars has been allocated under the estimates to improving this program. Three provinces have already taken measures to improve their driver's licences, including Quebec.
I would like to know if the $820,000 includes transfers to Quebec, Ontario and Alberta, the three provinces that have already begun providing enhanced driver's licences. If not, why will there be no compensation for those provinces that have already taken the initiative in preparation for these changes?
