Media Advisory: News Conference Regarding CPP Reform

CLC to Show Changes Are Affordable

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 12/11/13 -- Ken Georgetti, president of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), will hold a News Conference at 10 a.m. on Thursday, December 12 to provide background to journalists regarding the wisdom and necessity of enhancing the Canada and Quebec Pension Plans.

The CLC has been advocating since 2009 for improvements to the CPP-QPP which would guarantee income security for Canadians when they retire. "The need for pension reform is urgent," Georgetti says, "but the Conservative government and special interest groups are using scare tactics to say that the economy is too fragile to allow for improvements. We have the research in hand to show that those claims are false."

Canada's finance ministers will meet in Ottawa and at Meech Lake on December

15-16 and CPP-QPP reform will be on the agenda. Georgetti will also be available on December 16 to comment on the outcome of the ministers' meetings.
