National Briefing on the Pension Delay Guarantee for the CPP/QPP

Too many Canadians are retiring—or nearing retirement—without the financial security needed to maintain their expected standard of living. The Baby Boom generation—the largest in Canadian history—is entering what will be the longest and most expensive retirements on record.

To help address this challenge, we have proposed the Pension Delay Guarantee (PDG)—a simple, low-cost reform to the CPP/QPP that removes the fear of “losing out” when delaying benefits. The PDG guarantees that if someone delays claiming and dies early, their estate doesn’t lose out. By taking the fear of dying young off the table and replacing it with confidence, retirees can make decisions that align with their best long-term financial interests—now and decades into the future.

Join us for this timely webinar to explore:

  • Why claiming CPP/QPP benefits early remains so common—and how behavioural biases drive these choices.
  • How the Pension Delay Guarantee works, and why it’s both feasible and affordable.
  • What this reform could mean for millions of Canadians preparing to retire.

Rethinking Dementia Care: How Primary Care Providers Can Lead the Diagnosis and Management of Dementia in Canada

Canada’s dementia care system is under mounting pressure, with as many as 70% of people living with dementia undiagnosed, limiting their ability to receive timely care and support. Evidence shows that primary care providers can play a leading role in delivering timely, high-quality, person-centred dementia care when supported with the right models and team-based approaches.
