​As I explained in the response to which the Deputy refers, negotiations on arrangements for exchange of driving licences are handled on behalf of the State by the Road Safety Authority (RSA).

I understand from the RSA that an agreement with British Columbia is very close to being finalised.  However, it is not possible at this point to give a definite date as to when this will be done.
