Well, I am happy with that, Mr. Minister, and happy to hear you say that. But Mrs. Mary Donaghy appeared before this committee and I asked her that very question. She said the following:
Let me say, in terms of the discussions that went into the work preparing the bill, that of course the question of vehicle registration was one that was considered. There were a number of options, obviously, that the government looked at in coming to the final form of the bill. The decision was taken that at this time it would not be appropriate to proceed with amendments to the legislation that would include or allow for vehicle registration.
And she later on said this:
There was a decision taken by the government at this time not to include vehicle registration information in the registry.
Would you not agree with me, sir, that it was a bad decision on the government's part?
