A guaranteed annual income in retirement is worth talking about. It's not going to happen in the current realm.
My colleague talks about the PRPP option put forward by the federal government that kind of has been rejected by eight out of ten provinces, and the other two are sitting on the fence. There has been a kind of unilateralist approach to federalism recently: the Canada job grant and the saying no to CPP expansion. Canada can only work if government, employers, and trade unions actually sit around the same table.
You raise an interesting idea.
