March 2022 – Canadian Federation of Pensioners and
Pionairs Pension Committee
You may have recently received an email from Michael Powell, President of the Canadian Federation of Pensioners (CFP), requesting you to (electronically) sign a petition relating to Canadian Pensions. The CFP's mandate is to protect pensions for all Canadian pensioners, and Air Canada Pionairs is a member of this important organization.
The objective of this petition is to compel the government to ensure that pensioners receive 100% of their pension that their employer committed to. The petition is intended to get support for Bill 228 which would provide for Defined Benefit Pension protection.
High participation in this online petition will send a powerful message to our politicians, and we therefore ask for your support once again. Please note that signing the petition is completely voluntary on your part.
You can access the petition by clicking this link.
