Expanding the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is by far the simplest and most cost-effective vehicle for both workers and employers to contribute to the cost of a secure and adequate retirement income. Virtually all working Canadians (including the self-employed) participate in the CPP.

The labour movement wants to see concrete action to improve retirement security for workers and avoid the devastating impact that a retirement income crisis will have.

The CLC is partnering with retirees and seniors’ groups across the country to raise awareness about Canada’s retirement crisis and its call on government to double CPP benefits. Together they will be hosting a series of public town hall meetings on retirement security.
