Alberta deserves more than half CPP assets if it exits program: report

The province of Alberta in Canada is considering leaving the Canada Pension Plan and going solo, as a report suggests it is entitled to over half of the program's assets. This move would have a significant impact on the country's retirement safety net.
The report highlights that a literal reading of the legislation would result in Alberta receiving an asset transfer of $637 billion, surpassing the CPP's total base assets of $575 billion. Alberta plans to pursue this course of action in the coming months.
If Alberta were to exit the national retirement savings program, it would have substantial financial implications for both the province and the CPP. The report's findings have sparked a debate about the fairness of asset distribution and the future of the pension plan.
