Increase the CPP Survivors’ Benefit by 25%

After a lifetime of hard work, Canadians deserve to retire with financial security, and to know that if anything happens to them, their loved ones will have financial security, too.

A re-elected Liberal government will:

  • Work with all provinces and territories over the next year to increase the support survivors, many of whom are women, receive by increasing the Canada Pension Plan and Quebec Pension Plan survivor’s benefit by 25%.

Over 1.3 million widows and widowers will receive close to $2,200 every year. And every senior will have greater peace of mind that their loved ones will have the support they need.
