Resources from the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s 2024 Public Meetings

In October and November 2024, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) held public meetings in eight cities across Canada. These meetings are a rare opportunity for Canadians to engage directly with the staff and executives that manage the $647-billion Canada Pension Plan on behalf of over 22 million beneficiaries and contributors.

While CPPIB recorded these public meetings, staff told meeting attendees that our national pension manager does not intend to make audio and video recordings and written transcripts of the meetings available to the public. Luckily, Canada Pension Plan members used their mobile phones to capture audio and/or video recordings of CPPIB meetings in Ottawa on October 10th, Winnipeg on October 17th and Vancouver on November 4th. 

This enables some semblance of transparency to the millions of Canadians who were unable to attend a CPPIB public meeting in person. It sheds some light on the questions that Canadians asked CPPIB staff at these public meetings, as well as the responses provided by CPPIB staff. Shift urges CPPIB to make public their own audio and video recordings and written transcripts of public meetings held across Canada in 2024.
