Canadian Labour Congress Lying about Conservative Platform

[scribblet]

The Canadian Labour Congress is attacking O'Toole with a lie which is a problem because many or most believe them without checking.  

According to them

Hidden in Conservative platform: An attack on public pensions and EI | Canadian Labour Congress

 This is an outright lie. Gig workers do not pay into CPP now because they are contract workers, the CPC is helping them.

The Conservative Party is promising to create tax-free savings accounts that provide gig workers with access to the Canada Pension Plan and employment insurance benefits.

While out on the federal election campaign trail on Thursday, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole said the coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated the need for these accounts because gig workers currently can’t pay into the CPP and don’t qualify for EI benefits.

“What this program does is it actually creates an employee savings account,” Hoback said, “and every time they work for a company, no matter who they are, the company will make their portion of contributions for EI and Canada Pension, and the employees can contribute to that account.”
