Whether retirement is just around the corner or something that’s decades into the future, Labour’s plan for Retirement Security has clear benefits for everyone - no matter where you work.

Grow the CPP - A better way to save

The best way to help today’s workers save enough money for tomorrow is by increasing what everybody gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) as a share of their total retirement income. Which is why we’re proposing that over the next several years we lay the foundation to double CPP benefits for the future.

Pension Insurance

Recent events have made it obvious: Canadians need an insurance system to protect their pensions. This requires leadership at the federal level that can be joined by willing partners at the provincial level.

Increase OAS/GIS Benefits

We also propose a 15% increase to the Guaranteed Income Supplement of the Old Age Security pension to lift all seniors out of poverty immediately.

With your help, we can win. And here’s how...
