The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) was established through legislation passed by the federal government in 1965. The initiative was spearheaded by the Liberal government under Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, with key contributions from then-Minister of National Health and Welfare, Donald Macdonald. The CPP was designed to provide a national pension program to ensure financial security for Canadians in retirement.
