CPP is quite the hot-button issue with our members right now. We're very worried about the potential increase in premiums. It's often the view that a group like CFIB has never in our entire history supported any form of tax increase. I have to say that is wrong, and this often surprises parliamentarians.
When former Prime Minister Paul Martin worked to fix the Canada Pension Plan years ago, after terrible decisions of the past, our members supported an increase in Canada Pension Plan premiums in order to save the CPP. My understanding is that the CPP is safe for 75 years, has enough money for 75 years, and is in decent shape, better than a lot of the state pension plans that exist in the rest of the world. But the plan that's being proposed is not about saving the CPP; it's about expanding the CPP, and that's what worries our members.
