Pension Breakdown

How the finance ministers bungled pension reform

Issue(s): Pensions

About this Publication

This study provides an analysis of the government's proposed Pooled Registered Pension Plan (PRPP) program, and asserts that it will do nothing to solve Canada’s pension crisis. The author argues that rather than proposing yet another voluntary savings scheme, the government should instead focus on expanding the CPP in order to provide all Canadians with a basic guarantee of adequate income that will protect their standard of living in retirement.

The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
