  OTTAWA, ONTARIO, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Ken Georgetti, Canadian Labour Congress President, will appear before the
Standing Committee on Finance on Tuesday, November 3 regarding the Canada
Pension Plan Provisions of Bill C-51, The Economic Recovery Act. The
proposed legislation would implement provisions of the budget tabled in
Parliament in January 2009.

    The CLC believes that the CPP is a key platform for the income security
of Canadians in retirement, and has proposed to phase in a doubling of
CPP benefits to create a much improved public pension system for our
children. Georgetti says that major improvements to the CPP and other
matters related to pension security should be the subject of a national
pension forum.
