I think it's a bit ridiculous to say that there are privacy considerations when this information is being sold to car dealerships and anyone can access this information after they have purchased a car. There is no confidentiality and privacy once this information is being sold to dealerships.
Why isn't it being given to registry agents? At a registry, when vehicles are checked, that information is tracked. We could give this information to registries across Canada, and we could identify stolen vehicles today at a much lower cost than what this government is giving. Why aren't we doing it?
