Ontario is considering eliminating front licence plates on vehicles across the province. Premier Doug Ford's office says the idea is under review but no decisions have been made.
Last Updated Tuesday, April 9, 2019 9:00PM EDTGovernment Services Minister Bill Walker said Tuesday that the idea is under review as a cost-savings measure but no decisions have been made by the Progressive Conservatives, who are set to reveal a redesign of Ontario's licence plates later this week.
Walker said other jurisdictions have eliminated front plates, so it could make sense for Ontario to follow suit. Published media reports citing anonymous sources said the slogan on plates for passenger vehicles will be changing to "A Place to Grow," while the premier's office has said one of the Progressive Conservatives' campaign slogans -- "Open for Business" -- could end up on commercial plates.
Meanwhile, the government's review of front licence plates drew concern from the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police.
