As part of the consultation launched by the Minister of State (Finance), Kevin Sorenson, the Minister of State (Seniors), Alice Wong, and Canada's Chief Financial Literacy Officer, Jane Rooney, Option consommateurs hereby publishes its comments on the proposed blueprint, entitled Towards a National Strategy for Financial Literacy, Stage 1:
Strengthening Financial Literacy for Seniors, which aims to improve the financial literacy of seniors and those approaching retirement age.
Option consommateurs regularly meets with seniors and people approaching retirement age during financial consultations or workshops. The organization has also conducted several focus groups with this clientele to fuel its research. These meetings enabled us to get to know seniors and discover the challenges they face. They also served as the basis for the answers presented in this report.
