It exists in our corporation. We have a consent clause in our commencement form. But some candidates refuse to sign it and we cannot hire them because we cannot communicate to the government their social insurance number or other similar information. This consent clause is included in the hiring form, but what purpose does it serve? The consent is mandatory because we cannot hire anybody without using this information. So why ask for consent? Why do we not have the ability to use some pieces of information for employment purposes without having to ask for consent? It would be enough to tell the employee how we are going to use this information.
