Opposition says Alberta dragging feet on CPP pension reform to manipulate outcome ableg abpoli
NDP house leader Christina Gray says the United Conservative Party government has failed to release a long-promised third-party analysis of quitting CPP because it is busy doctoring the report to make the case for Alberta going it alone on pensions.“We all know that the UCP is obsessed with meddling with Alberta’s pensions and pulling out of the CPP,” Gray told reporters Monday.
“The report the UCP mentions has been trapped in the minister’s office since 2021. What kind of biased rewriting has it been going through?” Gray said opinion polls suggest ditching CPP is deeply unpopular in Alberta while studies conclude it would be highly volatile and potentially catastrophic.“I believe that they’ve continued along this path, because they find political benefit of fighting with Ottawa and being angry,” Gray said.
“Every single independent analysis of this idea has proven that pulling Alberta out of the CPP will cost more and give less to Albertans while also destabilizing pension security here in Alberta and across Canada.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
