There are a couple of instances. One example is that most Canadian insurance providers limit the amount of time your Canadian-registered vehicle can be outside of Canada to six months. In order to combat that, if you had the U.S.-registered vehicle, you'd be able to use that beyond that time frame and be able to drive it in Canada with, again, these regulatory changes, which are pending. Again, because of those limitations, the only one that comes to mind for me is SGI in Saskatchewan, which would allow a Canadian-registered vehicle to be in the U.S. for a prolonged period of time—beyond the six-month period. Other than for them, most private insurers in Canada limit the amount of time that you can have the vehicle outside the country to six months. That's why, again, people will purchase U.S.-plated vehicles. It's a way to get around that.
