As an albertan it seems like not a horrid idea EXCEPT that the last time they grabbed some pension money they gave it over to AIMCo to manage... who did horribly for awhile ( during covid though so
all funds did poorly except handsanitizing companies) and still arent getting the returns that the CPP is. The other concern is that AIMCO is at alot shorter arms length Than the CPP and govt in general dont have a great track record of doing well with money...
As for the dollar amount... i read an article that said if the other provinces used the formula that the Lifecompany who didthe report used..then something like 9 times the net value would be owed to all provinces...so you would wind up with provinces needing to pay, in order to get negative asset value
We all know the number they came up with overvalued but hey, you dont ask, you dont get!
Going to be an interesting ( and inevitable) supreme court battle over $ amount.
