Redford government to make new pension options available to Albertans
April 19, 2013

Working Albertans will soon have access to a new retirement savings tool under newly introduced pooled registered pension plan legislation.

“The Government of Alberta deserves credit for introducing pooled registered pension plan legislation to help Canadians who may not have access to a viable, low-cost private pension option,” said Minister of State (Finance) Ted Menzies. “Our Government and the province of Alberta are supportive of low-cost pension arrangements that leave more money in the pockets of retirees.”
