Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the panel for appearing today.
I wanted to follow up briefly on the mandatory retirement question. I've had the opportunity to travel to a number of other countries and have observed, anecdotally, of course, that in many of the cultures around the world, age is revered and looked up to much more than it is here in North America. I've always had a concern that we have minimized the contribution that older people can make, so I am certainly supportive of your initiative.
I have a question. Could you just help me understand what kind of a process was involved in convincing the Ontario government to end that practice of mandatory retirement?
