In Episode 66, we welcome two of Canada's leading pension experts for a discussion on issues impacting Canada's world renowned Maple 8 funds.  Malcolm Hamilton and Bob Baldwin are two Canadians who are lifelong followers of pension funds and share with our listeners the key reasons why Canada's Maple 8 funds are world leaders.  Bob explains the case for Alberta to leave CPP, a topic he has written about extensively, which puts the Chief Actuary of Canada on the hotseat to determine fair value on Alberta's share of the fund.  Other topics include the debate over ownership of Canadian assets, managing the increase in life expectancy and a crystal ball look at pension issues 10 years from now.
