Pension funds in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec are at risk.
That’s the finding of credit ratings agency Moody’s.
It says both funds face large shortfalls.
Saskatchewan also has a large pension deficit but Moody’s says the province has closed its defined-benefit plans and begun funding pensions with a pay-as-you-go approach.
Ontario was the only province with a small surplus.
Underfunded pension programs were also reported within major Canadian companies including Bell Canada, Canadian Pacific Railway and Canada Post.
