The Bank of Canada has calculated that the Canadian "wealth-adjusted" savings rate" has remained at "around one-fifth of disposable income being saved by Canadian households each year in the past decade."12 This more optimistic estimate of savings supports the Bank of Canada's view that Canadian households are not over-leveraged and that savings are adequate.

Another breeding ground for germs that was not mentioned in Shamona Harnett's article is women's purses (Germ factory, May 4). Purses are often set down on microbe-laden surfaces outside and inside, including public washroom floors, and then are put on counters or tables where food is prepared and served. People would be horrified to see the bacterial and mould growth in petri dishes produced from scraping the bottom of a woman's purse. Keep healthy. Do not put your purse on a counter or table. Tell others about this common source of bacteria and germs.

Human trafficking is a global human rights issue that has profound and tragic repercussions for millions of women and children every year. In North America, Canada is currently a destination for victims of trafficking, and a transit route into the United States. Traffickers have exploited the open border between the United States and Canada to perpetuate a modern form of slavery that forces oppressed women and children into forced labour and/or prostitution. Currently, Canada has no formal policy or program to provide protection, assistance, and services to victims. A multidimensional approach to combating human trafficking is necessary in Canada, with legislation that provides protection to victims escaping the web of trafficking.
