Ottawa, February 24, 1995 Canada Pension Plan Actuarial Report TabledThe Fifteenth Statutory Actuarial Report of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) was tabled today in the House of Commons. The report shows that CPP expenditures are now expected to be considerably higher in both the short- and long-term. The report on the financial state of the CPP is prepared by the chief actuary of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, as required by the CPP legislation. The Report's main findings are:
As required by law, the Ministers of Finance of Canada and the provinces will sit down this fall to look at the financial sustainability of the plan. The last review of CPP was completed in January, 1991. At that time, contribution rates were adjusted to rise in steeper annual steps to reflect the findings of the actuarial report. The CPP was established in 1966 after extensive consultations and negotiations with provinces. The CPP operates in all provinces except Quebec, which has a separate plan with similar benefits and identical contribution rates. A summary of the report, with background information, prepared by the Department of Finance is attached. ___________________ Hal Hanes Réal Bouchard |
