A significant number of people reach the age of 66, do not want to retire and are more than willing to work. It is great to make this change. On a wider level, the State will have to address that issue as well because there are loads of people who would be more than willing to work. I mention in particular community supports. Whoever is in power will have to make a broader change to accommodate those people.
