The Canada and Quebec Pension Plans were implemented in what year?

  1. 1965

  2. 1927

  3. 1940

  4. 1980

The correct answer is: 1965

The correct answer is 1965. This was the year that both the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) were put into place. The CPP was created for all Canadian provinces except for Quebec, which implemented the QPP instead. Option B, 1927, is incorrect as this was the year that the Old Age Pension Plan was established, which was a precursor to the CPP. Option C, 1940, is incorrect as this was the year that the Old Age Security Act was introduced, which was another precursor to the CPP. Option D, 1980, is incorrect as this was the year that the CPP was reformed and expanded, but it was already established in 1965.
