From modest beginnings in the early decades of this century, a system has developed which consists of universal benefits, social insurance plans, social assistance programs, and a wide array of health and social services. The document presents an overview of income security programs. More precisely, it looks at the Old age security program; Canada pension plan; reciprocal social security agreements; and, protection of client information.
