Mr. Speaker, the big brother database is a huge intrusion into people's lives. It knows their income, when they have been employed, when they have been unemployed, whether they have been eligible for EI benefits, whether they have ever been in a national training program, whether they ever had social assistance. It even knows their family situations. It knows about their T-4 slips, their T-1 slips and whether they have ever been on social assistance at any time in their lives.
It knows everything about us from cradle to grave. Why do they want this information from innocent, law-abiding citizens?
