Murray Gold, a lawyer at Koskie Minsky in Ontario, has recently written a paper on "Pension Reform Current Issues"(April 2011). As set out in the Executive Summary, the paper:

• reviews Canada's retirement income system, and explains how it works;
• looks at the Old Age Security ("OAS"), the Guaranteed Income Supplement ("GIS"), the Canada Pension Plan ("CPP") and employment based pensions, and explains how they function and work together; and
• reviews the political parties' pension platforms in the 2011 election, and compares and evaluates them.
