You put a bit of each paycheque aside in your Canada Pension Plan (CPP), so you can have peace of mind and enjoy retirement.
But if Danielle Smith gets her way, she’ll gamble with your retirement savings by pulling Alberta out of the CPP, risking millions of Albertans’ retirement security.
This isn’t the first time we have been here with the UCP. In 2019, the UCP drastically restructured how police officers, teachers’ and many other public sector workers’ pensions are governed. This affected the retirement security of hundreds of thousands of Albertans, but Danielle Smith isn’t stopping there.
The UCP’s risky gamble to pull Alberta out of the CPP could cost us hundreds of millions in administration, and could lose us billions in transfers and lower returns.
In the long run, we’re risking higher contributions and lower benefits, just when you need them the most.
The CPP is the No. 1 asset manager in the world. It’s stable and it’s reliable; partly because it’s safe from political interference.
We can’t let Danielle Smith gamble away your pension savings.
