Driver's Fees Going Up

The province says higher driver and licence fees will help pay for the maintenance of provincial roads and bridges.

A new driver's licence will cost five dollars more next year while vehicle registrations in northern Ontario increase four dollars.

NDP critic Gilles Bisson says the Liberals are piling new costs on struggling families.

Conservative Frank Klees says instead of taking more money from taxpayers, the government should curb spending.
