I got a response from the Transportation Minister's office, for what it's worth.

Here is my e-mail to the Minister:

Dear Minister. I think in these changing times, whereby we are always looking to cutcosts, I would like to pass on my suggestion, be it small butthoughtful, about front licence plates in this province. I find thatthe front licence plate does not serve any great purpose, and isunnecessary, and would assist in cutting cost for the ministry. I don'texactly know how many Ontario registered vehicles we have, I'm sure it'sinto the hundreds or thousands or more. If you do the calculation onwhat it cost to produce 2 licence plates vs. only one, I'm sure thesavings can be substantial. I don't think that we should have todisplay two plates, when dealers are given only one plate to display. Irealize that it's simply to move cars around, but the reality is wellknown by all that these dealers overstep their bounds and use them forpersonal use as well. Furthermore, there are some other provinces, anda majority of the united states, that only require one plate to bedisplayed. It is kn!own that some states, who currently have to display two plates, are inthe process of changing legislation, and moving to be like their counterparts, and display only one. I hope the ministry accepts this suggestion seriously, and pushesforward to change legislation for the display of only 1 licence plate. Thank you.

Here is the response from his office:
