Research direction

Start by locating the existing CPP implementation and the province_code handling described in the issue. Review the Retraite Québec references for the required contribution rates, maximums, and benefit rules. Done means QPP applies to Quebec residents, remains mutually exclusive with CPP, and covers retirement, disability, and survivor benefits.
