Finance committee  In your particular case, I would just put you in a simple RRSP with exchange-traded funds, where you pay very little in administration fees. If you want to have a life-cycle fund so you don't have to worry about where you put your money, that's available as well. So I'm not sure

Finance committee  I could just ask this whole committee a question. Does anyone know what is net asset value? Most people I ask in my day-to-day life say no. They don't realize that when they see their statement from their RRSP provider, the value that's reported is not the real value. It's the va

Finance committee  It would be difficult to find.

Finance committee  It's the same principle as for the group RRSPs, that is to say that all of the responsibility rests on the shoulders of the participants. If the market collapses when they retire, what is left is all that will be available to them. If there isn't much, that means they will have a

Jean-Pierre Laporte

Finance committee  No, I don't. I've actually spoken with the leadership of the CPPIB. They said it would not increase the administration costs, first of all. It's actually kind of ironic, because with the introduction of the post-retirement benefit for people who are aged 65 and older, there is no

Finance committee  I definitely think introducing a large quasi-public sector competitor to the marketplace would create some market discipline, which would help with the objective of keeping the cost of managing these plans low.

Jean-Pierre Laporte

Finance committee  No, I don't believe it would be possible for the private sector solution to match the CPP Investment Board in that regard. I believe the provinces would have to mandate that PRPPs be offered to members to reach those levels of scale that would then keep the costs low.

Jean-Pierre Laporte

Finance committee  Good afternoon. My name is Jean-Pierre Laporte. I'm a pension lawyer with the law firm of Bennett Jones LLP in the city of Toronto. I welcome the opportunity to provide to the committee some expert testimony on pooled registered pension plans. My sense is that Bill C-25, in its

Jean-Pierre Laporte

Finance committee  Yes, I have no objection to people retiring after the age of 65. If people are skilled, have something to offer their employer and need to continue working, I think that allowing them to retire later benefits both parties.

Jean-Pierre Laporte

Finance committee  Not personally, but I know that there were a few cases, especially involving pilots, who thought they were being forced to retire a bit too early. To get around that, they continue their career outside Canada.

November 1st, 2011Committee meeting

Jean-Pierre Laporte

Finance committee  In a normal pension plan, such as the teachers' or the public workers' plan, taxpayers contribute as the employer. In an individual plan, the company must put up the contribution. However, the company is the individual who owns it. I am talking about a private company. If a docto

Finance committee  I talked to you about what retirement plans can provide taxpayers with. I am not here to analyze the whole Income Tax Act.

Finance committee  Do you have a question?

November 1st, 2011Committee meeting

Jean-Pierre Laporte

Finance committee  First of all, the rules governing individual pension funds are roughly the same ones that govern defined-benefit pension plans, from which the members of this committee and public servants benefit. If you think that the rules that provide additional tax cuts to people with such p
