By focusing on the economic security of older women, we would also be able to explore the three related areas that I mentioned.
Older women who have no source of income experience physical and psychological problems. They have difficulty obtaining financial assistance and legal aid.

The committee could address all of these issues, not merely in terms of how they affect Caucasian women, but also in a broader sense, in terms of their impact on Aboriginal and immigrant women.
