As has already been indicated by previous speakers, this bill attempts to do a number of things, namely to discontinue the Canada pension plan advisory board and establish a Canada pension plan investment board, the main function of which will be to manage and invest Canada pension plan funds, to amend the contribution, benefit and funding provisions of the Canada pension plan, to tighten the eligibility for disability benefits and the rules for combining survivor and disability benefits and survivor and retirement benefits.
Comme l'ont mentionné les orateurs précédents, le projet de loi vise un certain nombre d'objectifs. Il vise notamment à abolir le Conseil consultatif du Régime de pensions du Canada et à constituer l'Office d'investissement du régime de pensions du Canada, dont la principale fonction consistera à gérer et à investir les fonds du Régime de pensions du Canada.
