Supplementary, Madam Speaker. I'm not sure I understand why we would have to cross-reference them, but I guess I can assume that's the reason employers would also have to supply the social insurance number of all employees who worked in the Northwest Territories. The form also asks for employers to provide the gross annual remuneration -- actually, it says renumeration here -- subject to payroll tax of each employee, the gross remuneration paid to each employee and the total amount of tax collected from each employee. Still, Madam Speaker, I'm not sure why we need all of this information other than perhaps a big brother syndrome. In particular, why does the department need to know the total amount of tax collected from each employee? This form doesn't say payroll tax, it says tax collected. So why does this department need to know how much total tax was collected from each employee?
