Re: 鈥渟a国际传媒 government should SIN no more,鈥� letter, Feb. 26.
I couldn鈥檛 agree more with the writer. When a police officer stops a car, he or she asks for a driver鈥檚 licence as proof of identification. When visiting a hospital or doctor鈥檚 office, a health card is required as proof of identification. These are both provincial documents, readily accessible by the Ministry of Finance.
Since the speculation tax relates to my property, why not ask for information on my tax assessment as proof of my identity?
If everyone refuses to give out their social insurance numbers, what then?
