Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome everyone.
My first question is for Ms. Sohier.
You spoke about poverty among elderly women, about the fact that a woman's life expectancy is longer than that of a man, and about protecting pension plans for women. These are questions that we all want to address. In fact, we want to be able to make recommendations to improve the situation of women with respect to the CPP. We were discussing private plans. You referred to transportable models, and in addition, provincial and national plans. However, this was not completely clear.
I imagine that contributions will come more or less from everybody. We know that women's situations do not permit them to contribute very much to plans, including RRSPs. You and many others have spoken of a lack of job security, part-time work, and so on. You are putting forward interesting solutions, but are they feasible?
