Mr. Speaker, my department has the responsibility for the SIN cards with some of the departments, but we are the lead department on it.
From what I understand, my official's comments in the article reported this morning were taken out of context completely.
We agree that there are important administrative improvements to be made and we have begun to take action. Today we have a meeting in Montreal held by a number of officials precisely looking into this file. We need to clean up the register. We will do it in collaboration with the provinces.
I have asked our standing committee of the House to look into it. I hope it will find the time to do what the auditor general asked it to.
