Kathleen Wynne and Pension Reform

pension reform: Back in 2014, Kathleen Wynne campaigned to create a new provincial pension fund, according to Hamilton Spectator. Ontario PCs derided it as a "payroll tax," while the provincial New Democrats dismissed it as an election ploy, insisting that pension reform be left to the next federal campaign. This time, not so much. But with the coming of another election season, the pension debate has taken unexpected turns — provincially and nationally. The plan isn't perfect, but it a workable framework to be phased in starting in 2017. Re-elected as premier, Wynne defied expectations by cobbling together an Ontario Retirement Pension Plan within a year. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
