Younger Canadians are at a material risk of picking up the tab should the soon-to-be expanded Canada Pension Plan experience investment return shortfalls, according to a new C.D.

Robson and Alexandre Laurin assess the risks of an expanded CPP and suggest how federal and provincial finance ministers can mitigate them.
