Santa was given
his pilot's license renewal by Transport Minister Marc Garneau,
a former astronaut, according to a video released on Twitter by
Transport Canada. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBy2kB41knw)
"Santa, I've got good news for you, once again you've aced your
pilot's exam so here is your certificate," Garneau tells the
man, dressed in a fur-trimmed red suit and hat and wearing black
gloves.
The video shows the elderly gift-giver completing a vision
screening test composed entirely of the letters H and O, and
handing over a urine sample.
"Your health is good. Your sugar levels are a little bit high,
but you are cleared to go, so that's the good news," Garneau
told Santa, who responded with laughter.
Garneau also warned Santa against distracted driving: "Just a
reminder, don't use your cellphone, and don't do any texting
while you're driving your sleigh through the skies."
