I have a question for each of you. I'll try to make them succinct, and then maybe we can get the answers in from each of you as well.
I want to start by saying to William and Judy, it's nice to see you again. We see you often, advocating on behalf of, I think, a very important group, given that I'm 58, and we need voices.
I think the bigger issue for me, anyway, is the whole question of poverty and seniors. You can have choice, but if there's no choice because it's the only way you can feed yourself and pay the rent and the increasing property taxes, then you have to go to work. I find a lot of seniors now working in jobs that really they don't want to be at. They're not happy. They're working at McDonald's; they're doing things that are difficult.
So I'm thinking we should be looking at bringing in a pension plan system across the country that's portable, that's sufficient, and that would allow people actually to retire in dignity and not have to work if they don't want to. In that way, it would allow some of our younger people to come and take some of those jobs that they would then vacate, and it would also allow some of the people who come in as temporary workers to become permanent workers and get good jobs that pay well and have a future in them.
Anyway, the question is, should we be doing more, particularly considering the amount of poverty out there among seniors these days?
