2.03.12 - “A re-elected CAQ government] will make contributions to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) optional for workers aged 65 and over in order to counter the labour shortage. […] This measure represents a savings of up to $3,000 per year. It will not result in any increase in contributions for other workers or employers.”

« La vague de changements touchant le Régime de rentes du Québec (RRQ) est maintenant en vigueur […] Le changement qui retient le plus l’attention est la possibilité pour les travailleurs de 65 ans et plus qui touchent déjà une rente du RRQ de cesser de cotiser au régime. Cette option n’est pas forcément avantageuse financièrement, mais elle risque de susciter l’intérêt, puisqu’elle occasionne sur-le-champ une hausse du revenu net en réduisant les prélèvements à la source. »
