Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to again raise the point that there are many Canadians who will be disadvantaged by not having a physical card with their social insurance number.
I remember, as a kid, when I got my first job and I got my SIN card. I still have the same one today. You take care of it and you look after it. It's an important number that you carry with you, and it's an important piece of identification.
There are many Canadians who still do not have access to the Internet, and not everybody has the literacy or media skills to be able to keep track of this information online.
I think of my own community where there are a number of low-income people who don't have a driver's licence. It's an important piece of information for them. If it's only available online, they may not have access to it.
While I do think it's a great idea to have this information online for those for whom it will make their lives a lot easier, I think there are some Canadians who may fall between the cracks, for the reasons I've just mentioned.
