Seeking 100% DB Pension Security for Canadians. Pensions are deferred compensation for services already rendered. Not honouring pensions is wrong and unfair.

@FSRA_News Why is the # of plans being actively monitored confidential ? Don’t taxpayers have a right to know ? FOI request needed? @RaymondChoPC ?
“FSRA spokeswoman Judy Pfeifer said the number of plans becoming actively monitored since Feb. 20 is confidential information”

Sears isn't the only company to operate like this either. According to research published by the @ccpa plenty of big Canadian corporations are underfunding their workers' pensions. This should be illegal.

Some TSX-listed firms prioritizing dividends over fully funding DB pensions: CCPA https://t.co/2Iff9tlMtd

“...there is no justification for... failing to ensure that plan benefits ...are adequately funded...when corporations are allowed (and can afford) to distribute multiple times the value of their pension shortfalls in dividends and share repurchases....”

Trudeau stands with billionaires as Sears pensioners pay for CEO's megayacht

They left the pension fund underfunded for a decade by $250 million while paying shareholder dividends of $3Billion.

And it was all legal.

Trudeau refused to change the law.

One Federal party is committing to Protect Pensions. Will the others make similar commitments? Let’s ask them when they come knocking on our doors for votes!
