If you contribute to a pension, do you know what type of plan you have? Do you even have a pension plan? Fewer and fewer private sector companies are providing pensions for their employees, making it harder than ever to plan for retirement.

Jason joins me to discuss the current state of pension plans in Canada, and how the deterioration of employer pensions is impacting the retirement plans of Canadian workers.
