A $10,000 CPP Payout? Ross Macnaughton Makes His Case

Could Canada Pension Plan contributors receive a lump-sum payment? Retired professor Ross Macnaughton joins Jim Csek and Iain Burns to explain his proposal for an average $10,000 payout and the calculations behind it. The hosts question his surplus assumptions and discuss investment performance, pension governance, Alberta’s pension debate and the possible economic effects. This is Macnaughton’s policy proposal—not an announced CPP payment or a guaranteed benefit.
