Expanding the CPP is unnecessary and counterproductive

Put simply, any increase in mandatory CPP contributions will be offset by lower savings in private accounts.

If their income and preferences don’t change, and the government mandates higher contributions to the CPP, Canadians will simply reduce other savings.
