e-535 (Canada Pension Plan)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- We recognize the efforts our federal public servants take to provide services to Canadians;
- We recognize that some employees become ill and/or disabled, and must resort to long term disability, medically retire, and live on disability;
- The Government of Canada, through the Public Service Superannuation Act (PSSA), allows itself and insurance companies the right to deduct all Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability Benefits, dollar for dollar, from the registered pensions of all Canadians, who have paid for them; and
- These deductions are retroactive and leave federal employees, as well as other Canadians who have paid into registered pension plans, on the brink of financial ruin while they attempt to reimburse the insurance companies, and/or the PSSA.
