I think it would certainly raise the priority and urgency of precarious employment. As I've said, I think it's a far greater problem in this country politically, as well as economically and socially, than many believe. I think it would focus attention in much the same way that this government has been effective in focusing attention on gender inequities, and other forms of inequities, by integrating them into fiscal decision-making and budgetary reporting and planning. We are beginning to do that around inequality as a fundamental issue. I think combatting precarity could also be a key objective. If adequate metrics are established, we could use them to track progress toward enhancing employment security and attacking precarity.
