Mr. Chair, let me just elaborate a bit.
Women would benefit from a supplementary Canada pension plan. They are the ones who bear children and they are the ones who end up having to take time off work to raise their children. Women are predominantly the caregivers to parents, so they are the ones who have to leave their employment. Ultimately, when a woman gets into her own retirement years, she has nothing to depend on other than the current OAS or GIS and very little in the CPP.
Would the member like to elaborate on how she sees a supplementary plan benefiting women?
