Enabling Act(s)

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. R-11)

Description

In its 2020 decision in Fraser v. Canada (Attorney General), the Supreme Court of Canada granted members participating in job-sharing arrangements the option to top-up their pension contributions to their pre-job-sharing level. This regulatory proposal will provide a similar pension solution for employees who have temporarily reduced their work hours outside of job-share arrangements, thereby creating an equitable pension solution for all members.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Regulations would be amended to provide for an optional additional pension treatment for part-time plan members who accrue benefits during a temporary period of reduced hours.
