Fair enough. I guess one of the recommendations to come out of the report is this provincial-territorial working group that, as you said, is a no-brainer to get people talking about some of these things. I guess it's appreciated that we're probably going to have issues when we start dealing with associations and provinces and so on. Maybe we can knock off some low-hanging fruit that make some sense and that actually will produce results.
To Bill and Judy, I want to thank you guys for the work you do with CARP. It's great work. We heard in St. John's and Halifax about ageism. Ageism concerns me greatly. I don't think we treat seniors with the respect they deserve. I believe there's a brain trust there.
With all of these things that have been talked about, what is it going to take? Barring the fact that we have to get into crisis mode and realize that, yes, we have individuals who would like to work...and quite frankly, maybe it is only 20 hours a week. If someone is retiring, they probably don't want to work 40 hours a week.
I realize it's a bit of a convoluted question because there are so many different areas that are affected and can be influenced--through taxes, for example--but when it comes to ageism, what is it that we can do? People say “education”, but what is that? It's kind of difficult to get our head around in terms of what that may be.
So what would you suggest?
