What is one of the federal government public plans in Canada?

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a federal government public plan that provides retirement income, disability benefits, and survivor benefits to Canadians. It is designed to ensure that individuals have a source of income when they retire or if they become disabled and are unable to work. Funded primarily through contributions from employers and employees, the CPP is a cornerstone of Canada’s retirement income system, reflecting the government's commitment to providing financial security for its citizens in their later years.

Other options represent different types of programs or funding that are either provincial or privately managed, rather than being public plans at the federal level. Social assistance programs typically operate at the provincial or territorial level to support individuals in need. Provincial education funding is also managed by regional governments to support local schools and educational initiatives. Private health insurance is offered by various companies and is not a public plan, as it is based on individual enrollment and contributions.
