Taxpayers federation speaks out on fairness of MP pension plans
Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Politics
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is questioning the fairness of MP pension plans. While most Canadian workers might be happy to get a dollar-for-dollar match for their contributions, the federation says MPs get more than $23 to every dollar contributed. Spokesman Gregory Thomas says they suggest adopting a pooled registered pension plan. Thomas says last year alone, taxpayers contributed $102 million to MP pensions, while the MPs stored away just over $4.5 million of their own money.
