Whereas:
Canadians are living longer and many seniors wish or need to continue working
Under the current system, employment income earned by seniors is combined with Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) benefits, often resulting in higher overal taxation
This structure may discourage workforce participation among older Canadians despite their experience and willingness to contribute
Seniors have contributed to CPP throughout their working lives
Single seniors may receive less overall benefit from CPP contributions than those eligible for survivor benefits
Deferring CPP or OAS may not be a viable option for all Canadians due to financial needs and uncertainty of life expectancy.
