Mr. Speaker, Employment and Social Development Canada, or ESDC, conducted a records search internally to determine whether the Department had advertising expenditures promoting the Canada Pension Plan, since 2016. The search concluded that ESDC did not have any expenditures promoting specifically the Canada Pension Plan.
However, the department had a campaign from 2018 to 2023 called Services for Seniors with generic messages that encourage seniors to visit the web page www.canada.ca/seniors to find information and resources that can benefit them. The web page included, among other things, information on the Canada Pension Plan and many other programs for seniors.
