I worked for the Desjardins Group. After I retired, I was self-employed for 15 years. I stopped for two years, but found that I wasn't doing well and my doctor said that I needed to exercise. The co‑op where I work now didn't have enough employees, so I began working there to help out. It wasn't about the pay; I just wanted to stay in shape.
Today, we need employees, and we'd like to hire retirees to keep them healthy and, at the same time, address the staffing shortage. Retirees don't want to return to the labour market because they don't want to pay taxes. They feel that there's no point in working if they're going to pay taxes on that income.
