Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke to U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday about a wide range of issues that did not include ending Britain’s frozen-pension policy, which is affecting Britons living in Canada.
About 150,000 U.K. state pensioners live in Canada, but are are not entitled to the same annual inflation-based pension increases as those living in the U.K.
Late last month, the U.K.’s All-Parliamentary Group on Frozen British Pensions released the results of an inquiry into the frozen pensions of British citizens living abroad, and recommended the British government end the “frozen pension policy.”
