Consistency the same judgment applied to all driver tests across the province. There is a lot of personal individual information in drivers licence records, including addresses, medical information and a lot more. Accountability Public servants are accountable to the people of Ontario. They take an oath of secrecy. They are in their positions to serve the public.
Someone working for a private operator is accountable to their boss.
They are not working in an environment that honours public service. They are far less accountable. Most driver examiners regularly are asked how much it would cost for a person to pass the test. A driver s licence is an important document in our society and people are willing to pay to get one to pay well beyond the registration fee charged by the province. In a profit-motivated environment, it will be harder to resist the temptation.
