CPPB is a kind of long-term disability insurance for people who have been in the labour market for a long time. I think if we want to talk about how we provide adequate income for people with disabilities who can't work, you don't really want to look to CPPB because of the nature of that instrument, but you maybe want to have the conversation about how we provide adequate income for people who have never been able to work and can't work. That's certainly an issue the provinces want to talk about because of the number of people with disabilities who are on social assistance.
We also try to focus on the people who could work. What can we be doing to help those people into the labour market? What kinds of supports do they need? How can we make the systems work better for them so that they can participate in the labour market?
So again we have some programs that are available to people who don't have a significant labour market attachment--they don't have to qualify for EI, for example--and in that way try to help them into the labour market. So far those programs look like they succeed. There's another group, though, on social assistance for whom we'd like to figure out how we could help them move off social assistance.
