In 2014, the Canadian Retirement Income Calculator (CRIC) was redesigned to align with the recent reforms to the public pension programmes while taking advantage of the latest web tools. The CRIC was transformed into a dynamic, mobile-accessible application which received much acclaim. In line with the Government of Canada's National Strategy for Financial Literacy, the modernized CRIC helps individuals plan for their retirement; and it promotes both financial literacy and awareness of Canada's public pensions.
