 HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD INFLUENCE OUR PENSIONS

BILL C27

Bill C27 is a Federal Bill introduced by the current Liberal Government in October 2016.   It affects pension legislation which applies to federally regulated private and public corporations, but it could readily be used as a model to push against Defined Benefit Plans.  It allows a new type of pension plan to be implemented by those corporations.  Previous to Bill C27, for the most part,  only two types were allowed where the Federal Government had control.  They are Defined Contribution Plans and Defined Benefit Plans.  Our teachers’ pension is an example of a Defined Benefit Plan.  The new plan which would be allowed under the bill is a Target Benefit Plan (sometimes inappropriately called a Shared Risk Plan).  (read more)

OTF President Mike Foulds:
          "the one percent is responsible"

On September 28, 2016, MacLean's magazine published an editorial,    "Why the one percent isn't to blame for income inequity."
OTF president Mike Foulds responded with the following letter to the editor. A portion of this letter was published in MacLean's letters to the editor on October 10.
It was disheartening to read the September 28, 2O16 Editorial, "Why the one percent isn't to blame for income inequity", Our Editorial: It's past time to rein in the public sector pension plan bacchanalia. Not disheartening as a member of a fully funded, jointly-sponsored public pension plan but disheartening to see what was once Canada's preeminent weekly news magazine sink further into the muck of right wing "journalism", best exemplified by such luminaries as Fox news.
