Good on Hon. Brad Trivers for speaking the truth about the truly inane move to use carbon tax revenue to make driver’s licenses free-of-charge enacted by the previous government.

While it would be an exaggeration to say that the Liberal government lost the election on this issue, I know it was a galvanizing “wait, what!?” moment for many.

“Obviously, one of the ways to reduce carbon emissions is by burning less fuel,” Trivers said.

“If you’re actually giving people free drivers’ licences and discounts on registrations to go drive, you can see that it actually doesn’t help with decreasing the amount of fuel they’re going to burn in their vehicles.”

Exactly.

Sign me up to pay for my license again; let’s use carbon tax funds for real action on climate change.
