Yes, but…It requires eliminating all mortality risks before 80.
Mortality rate• In Canada and U.S., the leading causes of death are
circulatory diseases (40% of deaths), cancer (20% of deaths) and accidents (9% of deaths).
• How long can we live? Is there a maximum life span?• Can we reach 100 years old? • From 1900 back 130,000 years, life expectancy remained
approximately at the same level. • It has increased by three decades since 1900 from 49 to 79.• Analysts argue that further progress will come
more slowly because we are approaching lower limits to death rates and we have already won the easier medical battles.

Guiding Principles of Federal-Provincial decisions on the CPP • The CPP is a key pillar that is worth saving.• The solutions must be fair across generations and between
men and women.• CPP must be affordable and sustainable for future
generations. This requires fuller funding. • CPP must be invested in the best interest of plan members,
and maintain a proper balance between returns and investment risk.
• Any further benefit improvements must be fully funded. • Available at www.cpp-rpc.ca/princips/principe.html

Report on theCanada Pension Plan
Consultations
June 1996
Federal/Provincial/TerritorialCPP Consultations Secretariat
• In Winnipeg, sixteen submissions were presented during the consultation representing a wide range of views.
• “We can afford the plan and we must protect it”, said the Canadian Labour Congress.
• Agreement on 14th February 1997
Office of the Chief Actuary Bureau de l’Actuaire en chef 16
CPP Steady-State Financing
Effect of the 1998 Amendments
• Increase Contributions by 70% over 6 Years (1997-2003)
• Decrease Benefits by 10% on a long-term basis (in 2050)
• Creation of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (www.cppib.ca)
Office of the Chief Actuary Bureau de l’Actuaire en chef 17
CPP Steady-State Financing• The steady-state contribution rate is the lowest
rate that can be charged that is sufficient to sustain the plan without further increase.
• It is also the lowest rate that can be maintained over the foreseeable future and that will result in a asset/expenditure ratio generally constant over a long period of time.
• Regulation requires that the A/E ratio should be equal in the 13th and 63rd year after the valuation date.

CPP Steady-State Financing
• If the legislated contribution rate is higher than the steady-state rate, the funding status of the plan will increase over time.
• The higher this rate is set above the steady-state rate, the faster the plan will become more funded.
• SS rate under 18th CPP Report at 31 Dec 2000: 9.8%
• Current legislated rate from 2003: 9.9%
Office of the Chief Actuary Bureau de l’Actuaire en chef 20
CPP Steady-State Financing
• If the steady-state rate is higher than the legislated contribution rate AND if finance ministers cannot reach agreement on solution, then:– Contribution rate increased by ½ of excess over three
years, subject to maximum increase of 0.2% per year– Benefits frozen– At end of three years, next review performed to
determine financial status of Plan.

•• Will there be a financial market meltdown as Will there be a financial market meltdown as a result of demographic changes?a result of demographic changes?
• Baby boomers will continue to be in their prime saving years throughout this decade. As more and more people save for their own retirement, world equities markets will boom. (Global Pension Time Bomb, Griffin, 1997)
• A rising trend around the globe toward pre-funding retirement benefits is a factor driving up total investment in equities.
• Although demand for domestic equities will be static, holding ofinternational equities from pension funds are expected to rise. (Global Aging – Capital Market Implications Culhane, 2001)

Global Aging and Financial Markets– Hard Landings Ahead?
• The question remains open to what extent the expected demand after 2020 will counter the downward pressure on pension assets from aging population in developed countries.
• Total assets in private-sector DB plans would peak in 2024 with consequent negative effects on U.S. equity values.(Schieber/Shoven,1994)
• Baby boomers will dampen stock prices. (Abel, Wharton School,1999)
• After 2010, the number of people (of US, UK, Japan and Netherlands) who retire will increase dramatically and net cash flow into the systems will start to decrease. It is likely that pension funds in the future will hold fewer equities and more fixed income products in their portfolios.(Demographics and Funded Pension System, Mantel, Merrill Lynch, 2000)

Future challengesFuture challenges• The Canadian retirement system is in good shape
considering that pension assets would roughly equal 40% to 45% of the liabilities.
• The aging is expected to be more severe in Canada than in United States, our main commercial partner.
• Contrary to the other industrialized countries, Canada should not undergo a decline of its working population thanks in particular to future immigration.
• However, the expected aging of the Canadian working labour force and the resulting labourshortage that could occur will represent one of the biggest challenges in the coming years.
