Pension Protection and Petition

The Canadian Association of Retired Teachers (ACER/CART) and the National Pensioners Federation (NPF) are promoting the following e-petition supporting further pension protection. While our public sector pensions are protected, many in private sector plans (e.g., the Sears retirees) need similar protections. The BCRTA Board passed a motion of support for the e-petition and BCRPVPA members are also encouraged to support this petition as well.

Click on: https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-3893 to respond.

This petition is a House of Commons e-petition, secure and safe. It challenges the federal government to develop a solution to ensure all pensioners continue to receive 100% of their pension.
