average Canadian. To discuss it… We’re joined by Sherri Torjman. Sherri is a social policy consultant and the former Vice President of the Caledon Institute of Social Policy and is currently the Vice-chair of the Disability Advisory Committee reporting to Canada’s Minster of National Revenue. And Colin Busby is the Research Director at the Institute for Research on Public Policy. Among other things he oversees a program focussed on the social safety net renewal for working aged adults.
