canuck51,
I'm glad I perused this thread. I wasn't aware that the ADB had an expiry date! Luckily, I see mine expires in 2016. I've made a note in my calendar.
The whole ADB saga strikes me as bureaucratic stupidity. You can't fit your licence in your wallet anymore and it doesn't include your radio licence!
As an aside, when did they change the passport validity to 10 years?
