• C. Political accountability
• D. Global trade

Answer: (B)

The economic reform program associated with Bennett’s New Deal aimed to improve the elderly pension systems by introducing various social welfare measures to aid those who were vulnerable, particularly during the Great Depression. This initiative was part of a broader effort to alleviate the hardships faced by many Canadians and to enhance social security as a means of ensuring a safety net for the aging population. By providing a structured pension system, the program sought to reduce poverty among the elderly and stabilize their financial well-being, reflecting the need for more robust social policies during times of economic crisis. The focus on support for the elderly was crucial in fostering a sense of security and social responsibility within the Canadian community.
