## About this plate

reg. 1 defines a government vehicle broadly, "a motor vehicle operated in the Northwest Territories by ANY LEVEL of government unless that vehicle is exempted by the Registrar", so federal, territorial, municipal and Indigenous-government fleets share one G series. Contrast Yukon, which splits territorial (Y), federal (F+letters) and municipal (D+letters) into three statutory grammars. reg. 12 then permits the opposite move: "If the Registrar is satisfied that an appropriate situation exists, the Registrar may issue a licence plate of a type other than government to a government vehicle", a legislated unmarked-fleet power, the NWT analogue of Wyoming's covert-plate statute. A parse product must not claim that absence of a G prefix proves a vehicle is not government-operated.
