Also, in the event of an accident, it was not always easy to find a person’s license. A vast improvement brought in by the new online registry is the simplicity in determining a person’s donation wish at the time of an accident or other serious injury, which would otherwise be difficult to determine. As of June 2011, the Trillium Gift of Life Network made it possible for Ontarians to register online. This will ease the process of registration and minimize the shortage of donors. After observing the improvement that both British Columbia and Ontario have started to experience, Manitoba is expected to follow suit and implement its own registry.

The registry has received much praise from its former in-person registration at ServiceOntario center and mail-in consent form. According to Auditor General Jim McCarter, 40 hospitals were not required to alert Trillium Gift of Life Network that they had patients on life support who required donors.
