An article appearing in yesterday’s Globe and Mail discusses proposed changes to Ontario’s public pension that would affect the CAAT Pension Plan. Here is CAAT Pension Plan’s communication to members:
Promoting your retirement security
The Ontario government is contemplating several pension-related changes, including the pooling of the pension fund assets of different plans.
This change was recently the focus of a Globe and Mail article. Although the article implies that decisions about asset pooling have already been reached, these conclusions are premature. The Plan continues to participate in the governmentís consultation process, as there are ongoing meetings and discussions. We anticipate these discussions will last into October.
The Planís position, which we have announced on our website and in newsletters, is that a ëone-size fits allí solution will not serve the best interests of our beneficiaries.
If you havenít already done so, please be sure to read the website page, Promoting your retirement security. If you have questions, feel free to contact us directly.
For periodic updates on this and other issues, we encourage members to sign up for NewsLink on the CAAT Pension website.
