There was concern for the viability of the CPP, but it was addressed and the fund is in good shape.
The Old Age Pension is funded from current government revenues, but the CPP is not.

It was a smar move by Canada to keep the pension plan seperate and out of the government's reach to spend.
How does the CPP differ from the Old Age Pension? I would assume the old age pension is for those who did not contribute into the CPP?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
