Which is exactly why the UCP can’t be trusted to set up an APP. Judging by the history of the Conservatives in this province, the Heritage Fund, and how the UCP consider the CPP overfunded, an APP will almost certainly be underfunded and neglected in order to ‘put more money in the pockets of average working Albertans.’
At a time when we need to be increasing contributions to universal pension plans, they would reduce contributions and leave those who can’t save for a comfortable pension independently (ie two-thirds of Albertans) up #### creek.
