Canada Pension Plan death benefit This petition is organised to convince the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada to increase the CPP death benefit to $5,000.00 to all Canadians regardless of their contribution levels. -At present the estate of disabled children is not entitled to this benefit. -The estate of children under the age of 18 is not entitled to this benefit. -The estate of many spouses who have not made the necessary contributions for a varied number of reasons is not entitled to this benefit. The CPP plan enjoys a surplus of over $148.2 bilion dollars. The plan is now financially stable and capable of lessening the burden to all Canadians when burying their love ones. It is now time for the CPP plan to increase the death benefit amount to $5,000.00 for all Canadians. Prestation de deces du Regime de pensions du Canada Cette petition est organisee pour convaincre le premier ministre et le gouvernement du Canada d'augmenter le RPC a 5000,00$ pour tous les Canadiens sans se soucier du niveau de leurs contributions. - Presentement les biens des enfants avec une deshabilite n'ont pas droit a ce benefice. - Les bien des enfants sous l'age de 18 ans n'ont pas droit a ce benefice. - Les biens de plusieurs epouses qui nont pas faite les contributions necessaires pour une variete de raisons n'ont pas droit a ce benefice. Le RPC jouit d'un surplus de plus de 148.2$ billion de dollars. Le plan est maintenant financierement stable et capable de diminuer le fardeau a tous les Canadiens quand ils enterrent leur biens aimes. Il est maintenant temps pour le plan RCP d'augmenter le montant de benefice a 5000,00$ pour tous les citoyens Canadiens. Sincerement, John Labelle Reina MacNeil

Funerals are way too expensive these days. My mom passed away last year and the cost was insane. Something has to change.

Fully support this. The system is broken and leaves way too many people behind when they need help the most.

ABOUT TIME. They are sitting on billions while families struggle to pay for a funeral. Ridiculous.
