Mr. Gill. who is also president of Canada Life Assurance Com pany. said more than 6.500.000 Canadians now are insured by pri- vate agencies as compared with l,000.000 in 1942 and that in ()n- tario alone 3,750,000 people, or 70 per cent of the population, carried such protection.
The areas of real iii.-cit nliieh private agencies could not take care of were sufficiently small that government action directed spec- ifically at them should be much less costly than a universal plan DIFFICULT TO ADMINISTER
