That article was just saying that the CPP if increased the payout to 20k a year from 12k per year and a Defined benefit Pension Plan guaranteed an annual income of 50k then the DBPP would only be responsible for 30k instead of 38k increasing the solvency. What it misses is that at least the Teachers Pension Plan's have 1 contribution rate for when CPP is being deducted and a higher contribution equal to the difference between CPP and no-cpp as the remainder of the year contribution.
So in addition to a reduced payout they also end up with reduced contributions. It other words that article was fear mongering crap that was trying to link a discussion around CPP with the problem of Public DBPP's
