Clark after a year-long scrutiny of the Americangcontributory pen- sion program. Weighing the merits of launch- ing a similar scheme in Canada, the University of British Colum- bia professor told the government in a hefty 96l-page report:

1. A huge pile of money would

be needed to turn the existing $55-

amonth federal pension plan into a employee - employer contribu- f

2. Because average Canadian earnings are about 30 per cent be- low those in the U.S., Canadians for at least a decade couldn't hépe to achieve the maximum US. benefits which currently run to about $127 a month.

required to bring in a new scheme and before plunging into a contributory plan it would be “very important” for the govern- ment to consider other methods of jing pensions. Britain's ex- perience would be useful. The scope for ‘wisdom and vision was anlimited.”” :
