Media Advisory: Fraser Institute Retracts Study on Public-Sector Pension Liabilities Published Today

(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/26/12 -- The Fraser Institute has retracted a study on public-sector pension liabilities published today following the discovery of an error.

A news release on the study, Canada's $254 Billion Iceberg: Public-Sector Pension Liabilities, was issued today via Marketwire.

The study incorrectly stated that Quebec had an unfunded public-sector pension liability of $75 billion.

The Fraser Institute has removed the study from its website and general circulation while all numbers and calculations are rechecked.

The Institute asks all news media outlets to disregard the earlier news release.
