PRESENTATION TITLE:
Pension plans and CPPP

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Understanding pension plans and CPPP contributions

Drawing on over a decade of experience as a pension lawyer for several prestigious Toronto firms, including Bennett Jones LLP, Fasken Martineau LLP, Osler and Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Jean-Pierre Laporte has dedicated his career to improving pension legislation. Frustrated that the significant benefits of pensions were not readily available to those outside of large companies, Jean-Pierre created the Personal Pension Plan ™ to level the playing field and open up a new world of financial options and increased retirement savings for incorporated professionals.

In 2004, Jean-Pierre Laporte set out to create a better solution for investors that wanted improved asset protection while minimizing taxes. With an impressive academic background at the University of Toronto, Osgoode Hall Law School and the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris, he is often called upon as an expert witness before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, and he has written several seminal articles on pension reform, including an expansion of the Canada Pension Plan.  In 2012, for his efforts are improving retirement solutions for Canadians, he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Media by the Governor General of Canada
