Thank you very much, and thanks to all three of you. I want to thank you in particular for the work that your organizations do in breaking down the stereotypes of seniors as being feeble and non-contributing members to our community. I think it's a really important message for us to get out there. In that regard, I think we have a lot to learn from first nations communities, who take intergenerational learning and mentorship much more seriously than mainstream Canadian society, I would suggest.
I'm interested in all your comments about the difference between those who want to work and those who need to work, and I think this committee needs to make sure that we tease out those two streams when we talk about older worker participation in the economy.
Ms. Eng, I know you said 50% of survey respondents, not necessarily your whole membership, said they want to work; the other 50% said they need to work. But your membership is 50-plus years for the most part, right? Can you tease out those numbers between those who want to work and those who need to work over age 60, say. I can imagine that when I'm 52 I may still want to work. My reality may change by the time I'm 60, when I may have to work.
