Mandate
This National Section has been developed based on the rationale that pensions and benefits law affects all members of the public across Canada, in all provincial jurisdictions and in the federal jurisdiction, and encompasses a wide range of complex legal issues. As such, a need existed for a national non-partisan voice to further the knowledge of pensions and benefits law within the legal profession to contribute to national policy, harmonization and legislative initiatives and to serve as a legal resource for the public. Click here to view the full proposal for the new National Pensions and Benefits Section.
The Purpose of this Section is:
- to review developing pensions and benefits legislation, standards and policy, and to promote the harmonization of same;
- to facilitate the exchange of information and ideas on pensions and benefits matters among members of the legal profession, legislators, the judiciary, public policy organizations, employers, unions, retirees and other pension plan members, and the public;
- to serve as an educational resource and to organize lectures and seminars on pensions and benefits laws, standards and policy;
- to promote and undertake research on pensions and benefits law and related matters; and
- to advocate for pension standards reform.
The Section continues to focus on member development in order to increase provincial representation while establishing additional provincial branches.
