We know that folks here in Dartmouth-Cole Harbour are struggling with the closure of Sears. They’re not alone, pensioners from coast to coast to coast have faced difficult circumstances, including reduced benefits due to their employer’s insolvency and underfunded workplace pension plans. However, at the same time, we know that small businesses, lenders and other creditors who are owed money, face challenges as well.

This week, the Minister of Seniors announced the next steps in national consultations on enhancing Canadians’ retirement security!

Now is the time to provide feedback through the Consultations on Enhancing Retirement Security page. The consultation is open until December 21st, 2018.

Together, I firmly believe that we can find a balanced, solid approach to addressing retirement security for all Canadians.
