Folks watch for an email about a campaign being undertaken by Canadian Federation of Pensioners (CFP) relative to Defined Benefit pensioner security. This is being undertaken during the federal election to understand where the various parties stand relative to this extremely important topic for defined pensioners members' security going forward. These email campaigns to your local candidates have proven successful in the past so we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to let candidates understand where we as the defined pensioner community stand.
Please pass on the family, friends, and colleagues to get this important message across to the political parties.
