Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also wish to thank you for pointing out to us that we should check the status of the Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities on March 31, 2007.
I wish to ask Mr. MacGregor a question, or maybe make a comment.
The questions you asked were so good that almost all of them got answers. However, maybe there is one small thing I would like to know, Mr. MacGregor.
Today we are faced with a labour shortage with the result that we have to go looking for immigrants in order to fill certain positions. I am going to confess that, perhaps because of my age—I am 33, so I am definitely still a bit far from retirement—, I was totally unaware a few months ago that the mandatory retirement age was 65.
Perhaps there was a reason for that 30 years ago, but do you think that things have evolved in a way that we can no longer allow it and that we need all our labour force to fill jobs in Canada? Do you think that that is today’s reality, or is this something that should have been done in the past, quite simply as a matter of fairness towards people, regardless of their age?
