The stated goal:

to collect "person-specific data" "for all BC children" (see http://www.earlylearning.ubc.ca/CYDTRU/developmental_research.htm) from "pre-conception to young adulthood" linking all personal medical, mental health, pharmaceutical, hospital, birth, death, and census data (see http://www.earlylearning.ubc.ca/documents/HELP_Crosswalk_Update_07-26-04.doc)

The researchers want PERSONAL TAX DATA linked to this kind of work they tell Statistics Canada (see http://www.statcan.ca/english/research/11F0019MIE/11F0019MIE2006284.pdf)
