People are not always aware of the risk of carrying with them a number of different identity attributes in their pocket. We do our best to increase awareness about the importance of protecting these kinds of information. As part of SIN code of practice, on the website we specifically identify what people should and should not do with their social insurance numbers.
It's one reason we decided not to produce the card anymore. People will still get their social insurance numbers when they come to the office but when they show up at the office, they receive the social insurance number on a piece of paper. That would be the only thing that we give to them.
