A report released this month by the C.D. Howe Institute entitled, “Faster, Younger, Richer? The Fond Hope and Sobering Reality of Immigration’s Impact on Canada’s Demographic and Economic Future,” says Canadians need to have more babies to avoid an economic crisis as Canada’s aging population retires. They also state that immigration is not the magic “fix-all” that it is made out to be. In fact, they claim that even vastly increasing numbers of immigrants would have “startlingly little effect” on the overall age structure in Canada.

There will soon be more retirees in Canada than working-age people to make money, pay taxes and support the pension and health care needs of an increasingly older population.

CHP Canada is unique among Canadian federal political parties in that we are aware of, and have been responding to, this demographic trend with policies that address the looming crisis.

CHP Canada will work to strengthen marriage and end no-fault divorce; stimulate the birth rate with a childcare allowance of $1000/month; promote adoption instead of abortion; enact a Fair Tax which would spur the economy and productivity; and establish Personal Security Accounts to ensure Canadians are prepared for retirement or work force interruptions.

CHP Canada has the right policies to deal with the challenges Canada is facing.

It’s evident that our current Parliament is not getting the job done for this country. It’s time for change.
