Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's a pleasure to be here.
Russ, I have only five minutes. I will get right to it.
Your characterization of the demands that are going to be placed on organized labour, which is that they mirror charities, is a bit of a stretch. If we were looking at athletic events, one would be a sprint, and the other would be a decathlon.
Our office sent a letter to CRA asking for the same information you are asking from unions through this legislation. What we got back from the CRA is that “the Privacy Act precludes the CRA from disclosing personal information about its employees. In some cases, the CRA may be able to respond with aggregate data.” We're asking far more of unions than we are of charities and even crown corporations.
To the cost of this, could you tell me how much this is going to cost the Government of Canada to administer? Could you give me a dollar figure?
