First, let me say that one of the issues we have faced as an industry since 9/11 has been the proliferation of cards. If you want another quotable quote, what I used to say when I'd come before this committee, or whatnot, is that we're all going to need George Costanza's wallet—if you remember his filing system to keep all of these cards in.
Those who watch Seinfeld thought it was a good quip. Those who didn't, hadn't a clue what I was talking about.
What we have done—and I'm talking about the trucking side of things—is to try to move both governments, frankly, towards a one-card concept. We have focused on the FAST card, because in our business we require a security background check. That is part of the FAST card. It's also part of the hazmat program. It's part of the transportation worker ID program and it's part of WHTI. So the key for us, and what we argued for under WHTI, was that the FAST card be used as a citizenship document. The guy using it has already undergone the FBI/RCMP security check. Why make him do it again? Why make him get another piece of paper?
Happily, in this case, the process worked and the United States has accepted a FAST card as a proxy for a passport or other citizenship document. So in a sense we solved our problem. Now that's not to say that every truck driver has a FAST card; we think they should, but for whatever reason, some don't. So they're going to have to either have a passport or an enhanced driver's licence, as the case may be.
I hear your arguments about the enhanced driver's licence in terms of the cost, and why not just have a passport—although the Canadian passport is a little bulky and doesn't fit nicely into your pocket, and that sort of thing—but for the average traveller, I think that's where the real interest lies, that is, in the enhanced driver's licence. Our problem, or the problem for our people, has been solved, for the most part, through the FAST card program.
