OTTAWA -- The Canadian Labour Congress has filed an Access to Information request to find out who lobbied the federal Finance Minister and his department against proposals that would enhance the Canada and Quebec Pension Plans.
"Last summer Jim Flaherty said that improving the CPP was the best way to ensure the retirement security of Canadians," says CLC President Ken Georgetti, "but the minister has changed his mind and now favours vastly inferior private sector plans. We want to know who got to Mr. Flaherty and we hope this Access to Information request will provide that information."
Thank you CLC! We need a strong voice on the pension front and I can think of none stronger than you.
