Mr. Speaker, this is not the first time the government has sought to receive private information from Canadians and not told them.
In October 2017 and January 2018, Statistics Canada demanded that the TransUnion Credit Bureau hand over millions of files to the government, and these were not anonymous. It demanded social insurance numbers, names, addresses, dates of birth, detailed credit information, balances owed, balances overdue and 30 other fields of data.
Will the Prime Minister tell Statistics Canada to stand down?
