What issue? That it's too easy to get a license?
I don't see the point of going to great lengths to enforce stricter requirements unless it's been shown to make a significant difference in other countries.
From anecdotal experience (there's probably stats to back it up, I'm just too lazy to look for them) I've been to countries where they have far more hoops to jump through to get a license and the quality of driving was no better then here (and a lot of times it was worse).
Hell, in Poland you need to take a 3 month in class course and then 30 hours of in-car lessons before you can do your test but go drive in Poland and tell me how safe you feel. Passing lines are treated like suggestions there.
The difference in Poland however is that everything is close buy. Your town might not have a driving school but the town 15 minutes away will. What are you going to do in Alberta if you live 3 or 4 hours away from a driving school?
