TORONTO, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will seek to challenge Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's plan to pull her province out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), in a meeting with provincial and territorial counterparts on Friday.
A nationwide pension scheme called CPP that took contributions from paychecks began in the late 1960s.
CPP Investments - an entity to manage its assets - was created in 1997 by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act.
AIMCo has not been considered a vehicle for a new Alberta pension plan.
If Alberta walks away with more than 22.5% of assets, CPP contributions from everywhere else in the country would have to increase, Tombe estimates.
