74.18EM Emergency Resolution: Social Insurance Numbers
Whereas, Chartered banks, trust and loan companies, brokerage firms, etc., have been notified that next year their records must include the date of birth and Social Insurance Number of all persons for whom they must issue income tax receipts;
Whereas, Our freedom is being eroded by the increasing number of persons in possession of private information;
Whereas, The collection of this additional data will require more staff, equipment, and taxes, adding financial burden to an already overtaxed population; therefore,
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women of Canada requests the Government of Canada to consider control over computerized information, as many fear this could lead to a police state.
