I would like to add to an answer that I gave to one of the first questions that was asked on what can be done to alleviate poverty or to help improve the conditions of women. There are two other means that crossed my mind in the meantime. It's not that they are new, but I forgot to mention them.
In terms of poverty, one means of alleviating poverty would be to extend the guaranteed income supplement downward. It applies only to persons age 65 and over. I think it was once thought in the government that it would apply at all ages. It would be one means.
The other means rests on the fact that it's not clear to everybody that fewer than 50% of employers have a pension plan for their employees. It's why the CPP was introduced. It was introduced a long time ago, and it's still fewer than 50% of employers who have an independent pension plan. There would be a case for the government to either have employers obliged to have a pension plan or to increase the scope of the CPP.
Thanks.
