Legislative and regulatory amendments

Laws and regulations amending the public sector-pension plans we administer usually come into force following negotiations between employee or management union associations and the government, after a resolution is passed by a pension committee or after we study a specific issue.

The summary tables and the newsletter Your Pension Plan is Changing list the amendments made by each law or regulation.
