Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says it’s up to the people of the province to decide if they want to ditch the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) for an Alberta alternative after a report said the province contributes a significant amount to the federal plan.
“We’ve got a higher workforce participation. We’ve got those workers paying more in and employers paying more in on their behalf. And that’s the reason why we consistently overcontribute,” she said during a radio call-in show on Sept. 30.
