| | Canada Pension Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The CPP was established in 1966 by Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. | | | For example, the CPP Investment board hires private equity firms to help it invest in private companies, fund managers to help it invest in public equities, bond managers to assist in investing in bonds (within Canada and foreign bonds), and so forth. | | | It reports quarterly on its performance, has a management team to oversee the operation of various aspects of the CPP reserve fund and also to plan changes in direction, and a board of directors that is accountable to the Federal government. |

| | Canada Pension Plan reforms |
| | CPP contributions are expected to exceed benefit payments until 2021, so the plan will not require cash from the Fund for another 20 years. | | | The Canada Pension Plan account is projected to grow from $33 billion in 1999 to $100 billion by the end of 2007, of which $70-$90 billion would be available for management by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. | | | The accumulating fund is being invested by the CPP Investment Board, an arm’s-length-from-government, independent investment corporation charged with investing the excess contributions and the proceeds from maturing bonds held by the Canada Pension Plan. |

| | Canada Pension Plan Legislation Tabled |
| | Canadians were unequivocal: they asked their governments to preserve the plan by strengthening its financing, improving its investment practices, and slowing the growing costs of benefits. | | | This support meets the statutory requirement that changes to the CPP receive the concurrence of at least two-thirds of the provinces with two-thirds of Canada's population. | | | The new measures will become law once legislation to amend the CPP is passed by Parliament, and supporting orders in council are approved by two-thirds of the provinces representing two-thirds of the population of Canada. |

| | Class proceeding filed regarding Bank of Canada Pension Plan : ArriveNet Press Releases : Business |
| | The plaintiffs, who belong to the Bank of Canada Pensioners' Association, allege the Bank has been misusing the assets of the pension trust fund since at least 1993 by requiring some-$12 Million in expenses and costs associated with administering the plan to be paid out of the pension fund. | | | The Bank of Canada Pension Plan was established by the Bank in 1936 as a defined-benefit pension plan covering employees of the Bank. | | | The BCPA's mandate is to advocate for an equitable sharing of the surpluses in the pension fund, competitive improvements in retirement benefits over time and, generally, to equitably advance the interests of all participants in the pension plan. |
