Councillor Ken Hooper then esked council if it wasn't time something was done about it. "How do we know if people four or five blocks away can hear it." _ _ "I think that now is the time to test it -- not when some * emergency arises and then we find out it doesn't work." Council was unanimous in passing the resolution that a let- ter should be written to the ap- starting Feb, 18. He reiterated that' it will be referred to a parliamentary committee "for detailed study." i His statement gave no indi- cation of when the plan would take effect. It is understood that the earliest starting date would be Jan. 1, 1965, The plan--officially titled the Canada Pension Plan--shapes up as possibly the biggest poli- tical issue of the year, In addi- tion to the test of a strong lobby of trust and insurance compan- jes and the Commons opposi- tion, the legislation will have to go through the upper house where at least 17 Senators are directors of trust or insurance companies. HAS NEW SHAPE This is the new shape of the proposal: It would be compulsory for most people. The only ones not required by law to participate would be the self-employed, those working for companies where it would be administra- tively difficult to make collec- tion of contributions, and mem- bers of the armed forces. This would take in more than 7,000,000 people. Included would be the 70 per cent of the labor force that now has no rteire- ment-pension coverage of any propriate authorities. kind.

MacNeil, and Mayor Hobbs ex-officio. Wage Negotiation Committee An income ceiling of $4,500 @ year is provided under the new Beheme, compared with $4,000 a year under the original pro- posal. This will go up by $100 a year as required by changes in the average national income, But the income lmiit will stay at the $4,500 level for the first five years--or $375 a month. RATE WON'T CHANGE The rate of contributions--two per cent of earnings up to that limit, shared equally by employ- ees. and saaperae or paid by the self-employed -- would not change, However, the effect or rais- ing the ceiling to $375 monthly from the former level of $333 means that employees who earn that much, or more, would see their own monthly contributions rise by 42 cents a month from what was planned originally. It would take the plan 10 years to build up enough money from contributions to pay full benefits, This is the effect of the 10- year transition period: 1. The benefits will be only two per cent of pensionable earnings in the first year of the plan's operation. This will rise by two perc e points a year until the full per cent is reached in the 10th year. WON'T START AT 65 2. Pensions would not be paid from age 65 at the start. In- stead, the government would lower--one step at a time--the eligible age for collecting bene- fits. It would begin at age 69 in the first year, move down to 68 in the second, and so on to age 65 in the fifth year. For the first time, the gov- ernment now proposes that those between 65 and 69 will be able to claim a reduced old age security pension--unti] now payable only at age 70. Mr. Pearson. said the existing rates of old age security tax are enough to pay this reduced old age pension between the ages of 65 and 69 without running a --_ in the old age security und.
