Yes, it's the same rule as the provision I quoted from the
Income Tax Act in an earlier posting.   The requirement to
report T-Bill income has been in place for a couple of years,
but the SIN requirement was just introduced.  As I noted, no
penalties will be levied by Revenue Canada for violation of this
provision during 1988.
