Then why would those measures not have been included in the previous budget bill, Bill C-45?
November 5th, 2014 / 5:55 p.m.
Deborah Elder Acting Director, Pensions and Benefits Sector, Treasury Board Secretariat
At that time we were just focusing on the pension reform of the four major public sector pension plans: the members of Parliament, the public service, the RCMP, and the Canadian Forces. When Bill C-42 was tabled, at that time the public service pension plan had a retirement age of 60, and therefore that's why these provisions weren't included in that bill.
