C-207 – An Act to amend the Canada Pension Plan – adds a new condition that must be met before a province can leave the Canada Pension Plan.
Currently there aren’t really any restrictions on a province leaving the CPP aside from them needing to pass legislation creating their own pension plan first. Heather wants to change that to require two-thirds of the provinces in the CPP, representing at least two-thirds of the population of those provinces, to approve a province leaving. So if Alberta wants to leave the CPP they’d need most of the rest of the country to support them leaving.
Progress of C-207
C-207 is currently outside of the Order of Precedence.
