AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE Pionairs works closely with the Canadian Federation of Pensioners and C.A.R.P. With them, Pionairs is encouraging all members to contact their MP to support an important Bill before the House.
Bill C-253 — An Act to amend the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act seeks to give pensioners priority in the event a company goes bankrupt. Bill C-253 will be reviewed at Committee at the end of May.
This is a private member’s bill before the House that seeks to safeguard defined benefit pensions. We need the support of pensioners like you to ensure this bill passes.
Urgent action is needed now to ensure it passes.
Here’s how you can help: Tell Your MP to Support Bill C-253: To email your Member of Parliament, click this link, complete the brief form down the page and “Send Now.”

Social engineering:
Think before you click, be aware before you share
Adopting a safety first, always, mindset when it comes to cybersecurity means more than just having a strong password or passphrase. It extends to our awareness and being cautious of anything we may receive electronically.
These tactics are referred to as “social engineering” and use not just email but also SMS texts. They are designed to take advantage of human traits such as curiosity, courteousness and greed. Learn more about the different types of social engineering here or take this free five-minute course (accessible from Edge and Chrome) to help you better identify online scams and stay ahead of cyber criminals’ tactics.
