The Ontario Pension Board (OPB) has partnered with other pension plans across Canada to promote the importance of financial security in retirement and to address advice being given to members by some investment organizations to withdraw the commuted value (CV) of their pension without providing the necessary context and risks in doing so.

The video collaboration from the OPB (Ontario Pension Board) highlighting the strength of Canadian pension plans and the importance of the defined-benefit model can be viewed on the OPB Youtube channel below:
