Just briefly, revising CPP and GIS is important because when women as mothers take time off during their working years, their CPP is always lower. When teenagers are looking for work it's difficult when seniors are taking those part-time jobs that students usually rely on. The other part of that is that I don't think the base amount of CPP disability has changed since its inception. I think we often underestimate the value, both economically and socially, of allowing people with disabilities to work somewhat. When you're in crisis through illness or disability and struggling to maintain rent and food, it's difficult to find employment.
