Absolutely. This question has been on the table for a long time. It's not actually technically a tax question, but there's no doubt that if you look at the money spent by the government on retirement savings--we have the old age security and the CPP, with the old age security being the more universal plan, and then we have the more private plans, the RRSP and the occupational pension plans--for women working in the home, there is no question that access to CPP would be a huge step forward.
