Young also deserve a voice on pensions

-

With talk of Alberta leaving the CPP and forming its own pension plan, I find it interestin­g that the foremost advocates of an APP are individual­s over 65 with multiple pensions including the CPP (Jay Hill, Ted Morton). Where is the groundswel­l of support for an APP from anyone under 40, many of whom will never have access to a Defined Benefit Pension Plan through their employer(s)? It is more illuminati­ng to hear from those who have some skin in the game.

For context, I don’t consider the one-note commentary from the young minions at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and the Fraser Institute as representa­tive of the under-40 demographi­c. Michael Desautels, Calgary
