On January 23, the CLHIA submitted comments on the Ontario Ministry of Finance’s consultation on the removal of Individual Pension Plans (IPPs) from the broad scope of pension law, as several other provinces have already done. The submission expressed support for this streamlining and cost reduction measure, while cautioning that this could limit protection for spouses and other plan beneficiaries and exemptions from seizure by the member's creditors. The CLHIA recommended further consideration before proceeding with removing IPPs from the ambit of Ontario's Pension Benefits Act.
