The Alberta Roundup | Ottawa already seeking to ‘derail’ an Alberta pension

Source: Government of Alberta

Today on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel interviews UCP Bonnyville chair and lead for the Alberta First Pension, Mitch Sylvestre. He says an Alberta based pension plan is a “no brainer,” adding that seniors would be given a raise if the pension plan was brought home —contrary to claims from the Alberta NDP that pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan would cause seniors to lose their pension.

Sylvestre also warns that the federal government would make the process of pulling out of the CPP as difficult as possible, and explains how the Ottawa is already seeking to “derail” the province’s efforts.
