Opposition fails to extend plan in CP reforms
Ottawa reports opposition votes defeated New Democratic amendments to broaden Canada Pension Plan coverage. Amendments would cut the earnings threshold to 100 dollars and remove the 25 day work rule, but were rejected 59 to 8 and 60 to 37. Revenue Minister Benson cited 335,033 farmers outside Quebec, with many earning under 800 dollars yearly and not covered, while noting 84 percent of farmers would gain coverage. Total labor force is 6,920,000 with 559,000 not covered.
