We are sharing a federal parliamentary petition regarding the Canada Pension Plan Death Benefit. The benefit has been frozen at $2,500 since 1998, while funeral costs have risen substantially, placing increasing strain on families. Funeral professionals see these impacts firsthand. The petition calls for increasing the benefit to reflect today’s realities.
