What: CTF’s Derek Fildebrandt to testify before Standing Committee on Alberta’s Economic Future
When: 7:30 PM, June 23, 2014
Where: The Coast Plaza Hotel & Conference Centre, 1316 33rd St. NE, Calgary
“Bill 9 moves the ball in the right direction, but it is still just tinkering around the edges that is unlikely to close the crushing $10.8 billion unfunded pension liability that we face. The CTF is proposing a bolder plan to the committee to honour the majority of benefits already accrued, but put pension plans on a stable footing moving forward,” said Fildebrandt.
