The email message:

I am writing to ask that you stand up for all Canadians and support the need for genuine reform of the Canada Pension Plan.
Canada’s federal and provincial governments are finally acknowledging what Canadians have known for a long time – that meaningful improvements are needed to address the pension crisis and provide retirement security for all.
 
It is incumbent on you to make a difference and advocate for expansion of the CPP that will provide these genuine improvements and ensure Canadians do not have to spend their retirement years in poverty.
 
We deserve more than lip service. Minor improvements, implemented over the long term, will not address the needs and expectations of Canadians.
 
As you know, the Canadian Labour Congress and many other progressive groups are advocating a realistic plan that will vastly improve retirement security for all Canadians. This campaign, endorsed by pension experts including the Canada Pension Plan’s former chief actuary, calls for a doubling of CPP benefits, an immediate 15% increase to Guaranteed Income Supplement benefits and better protection for private pensions.
 
I respectfully request that you and your party support these substantial real improvements to ensure all Canadians can look forward to a dignified retirement.
