US EditionA look at the numbers and assumptions behind Alberta's pension report
- Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta argues that the province pays more into the pension plan than it needs to fund benefits for seniors, due to a younger population and higher earnings.
- The report suggests that Alberta residents would only have to pay 5.9% of their income towards a provincial pension scheme, which is lower than the current rate for the Canada Pension Plan.
- It is estimated that Alberta could claim about 25% or $150 billion of the Canada Pension Plan's assets, which contributes to the calculation of an 8.2% contribution rate for the province.
