Today I heard The Honorable Jean Charest, the Premier of Quebec, speak a little news blurb on CTV after the Premiers all gathered in Quebec City and had discussed the various business and public agendas of the topics at hand. For majority of the issues they seemed to be pulled together and agreed with each other on what direction is to be taken, oh but wait. There is a conflict that arises among them. Climate change. Of coarse, the most up front ‘green’ issue that is present in today’s collective mind happens to be the one where directions are differed.
Yet, an excellent point was made in that blurb, almost in an irrelevant passing. He mentions the workforce and that citizens should “fulfill their lives to very meaningful work.” He points to the ability to move around to where work is needs to be simplified Federally, for it takes 13 municipal, provincial and federal permits for one to be an undertaker.
On the other end of the spectrum though, the Supreme Court has found that companies can enforce mandatory retirement as long as an adequate pension plan is supplied. So it stands that those who are more than willing to “fulfill their lives to very meaningful work” and continue on past their healthy 65 to add into their pension simply can do it at a new job.
