I got my new RPAL in March 2023 - it now reads "standard and transportation conditions are attached to this license" - whereas the old RPAL read "standard conditions are attached to this license". Along with the old RPAL expiry, the paper ATT expired. I honestly can't recall if a new paper long-term ATT was issued. I was going to the range with a restricted and decided not to go as I can't find a new paper long-term ATT anywhere. If I had one, it would be in the range bag with the registration.
Were new paper long-term ATTs issued in AB for licenses renewed in 2023? I hope I haven't spent the morning searching for something that does not exist!
