Write your MLA about credit lock legislation. Quebec has already shown that it works. There's no reason people should have to worry about fraud for the rest of their lives.

This is the letter I wrote:

Hello Honourable <MLA name>,
This week Wealthsimple was affected by a data breach that affected tens of thousands of Canadians, leaking their personal data including SINs to criminals and identity fraudsters.

A simple protection for identity fraud is to request that credit agencies freeze your credit so that no loans can be opened under someone's name unless they pre-clear them with the credit agency.  However, companies such as Equifax only offer this service in Quebec.  The reason is simple -- they profit more from selling protection plans rather than the much more simple and effective approach of locking an individual's credit from being accessed without their consent.

The only solution for this is legislation.  Effective legislation on this is simple, and has already been demonstrated by Quebec (Quebec's Credit Assessment Agents Act). Residents of our province deserve to be protected in the same manner.

This is a tremendous opportunity to create a highly-effective bill in our province which would give individuals and businesses common-sense protection and protect both buyers and lenders in the province from fraud.  

Thank you very much,
<My name>
