Liberal Government and Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau: The Conservatives, long opposed to expanding the plan, made a 180-degree turn Tuesday with a promise to explore allowing people to funnel more earnings into the program to expand their nest eggs, according to Metro News. The Liberals campaigned in 2011 on introducing both mandatory and voluntary CPP increases. Trudeau said Wednesday a Liberal government in 2015 would introduce a compulsory CPP expansion similar to one proposed in Ontario and The federal Liberals want a mandatory expansion of the Canada Pension Plan, Justin Trudeau said Wednesday as the Harper government abrupt pivot towards a voluntary increase in contributions continued to reverberate. The change appeared designed to wrest some ground away from the government rivals as parties battle for position on retirement income, already shaping up to be a central ballot-box issue in the October election.
