In terms of financial education in general, I think that is very important, not just for women but for all Canadians. The financial system is getting more complex, so we definitely need that.
I did a bit of research on this topic to compare the Canadian experience with other countries. One of the issues I found is that some other countries--for example, the U.K. and Australia--have mandatory financial education in their curriculum. I think we have something in Canada right now, but it isn't mandatory. We have some programs that are already developed, and it's up to the school boards or the teachers whether to incorporate that into the system.
I think we definitely need to get something into the curriculum so that everyone can get basic education about the choices. We have been talking about giving the general public more room to save, but at the same time, they have to make the right choices in their investments. I think that's also very important.
I think this is a very important issue, and I believe we have to increase the financial education level in the schools.
