B r the Act, at the presen time, contributors between 65 and 69 must retire from regular employment before they can qualify fnt a CPP retirement pension,, and recipients of these pensions who are aged 65 to 09 face the prospect of'having their pensie,ns reduced .or eliminated if their `;,post-retirement earnings exceed. amounts stipulated by the legislation. Once the new bill becomes law, . these testa will ' no longer apply. and persons 65 or ,ogler raydraw their Canada "Pension Plan retirement benefits whether or not they eco ntinue to work and receve wages, The new bill also -establishes a new formula for determining the earnings ° ceiling of the Plan, called the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings. (YMPE) in, the legislation. The new formula provides that the amount up to which a person may con- tribute will be in creased by 12/ per cent each year until it catches up to the average earnings of Canadian workers as represented by the Industrial Composite of weekly wages and salaries pub- lished by Statistics Canada. After this transitional period, the YMPE wilt. be 'kept parallel with the average earnings by equating it with a projection of Industrial composite data Mr. Lalonde said this change will lay a vial i le in substantially ncreasing CPP benefits in the uture it 0it refit tib, he to +exn O that 'w sr the ` runxt. ill decade„ CPP' retire- ment pensions willt penincrease d *baht **per cent, that up to a and **ability d. e; survivorpensions will *row to IN cent. onl ":thy Under le�%ti+on llast en Year, E for 174 was set at , e` S' and `f 1975. .at 7,400, -. ty That legislation also provided' for the till escalation of benefits in pay, in. line with yearly changes thp f um+ tax The new legislation is , designed, to`therefore, to provide for oha es in the Year's Maximum mien-' t able Earnings in 1976" and'sub- e t years.
