The aging population

While campaigning in Quebec today, Paul Martin observed that there are now 5 workers for every 1 retiree in Canada, and in ten years that will decrease to a 3:1 ratio.

He also said that in order to ensure that seniors can be taken care of, we have to reduce the national debt.

I wholeheartedly agree.

It's good to see a Liberal actually talking policy during a campaign instead of just flinging mud. We would never have seen this level of detail out of Chretien.
