Whether you are an employer or employee, in a unionized environment or not, and whether or not you have a retirement savings plan of any kind, the federal government wants to hear from you.

Last fall, we told you about pension reform and the possibility of a new national pension plan. The federal government is now seeking your input on how the Canadian retirement income system can be strengthened and reformed.

On March 24, 2010, the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, announced the launch of cross-country and online consultations to gather ideas on how to ensure the "ongoing strength" of Canada's retirement income system. He stated, "Our government will be giving Canadians an unprecedented opportunity to provide direct input on the future security and soundness of Canada's retirement income system." Consultations are open from March 24 to April 30, 2010. Anyone interested is welcome to participate.

Unsubstantiated Findings In Workplace Investigations: What To Do When You Can’t Decide

When workplace investigators face difficult decisions, many default to marking allegations as "unsubstantiated" to avoid risk.
