Private Member’s Pension Bill Passes Second Reading, Referred to Committee
Date: May 13, 2010
On May 13, 2010, Bill 54, the Retirement Savings Plans for Employees and Self-Employed Persons Act, 2010 was referred to the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. Bill 54 is a Private Member’s Public Bill, first introduced on May 5, 2010. As outlined in our FAQ section, historically, very few Private Member Bills progress beyond the Committee stage to Third Reading or receive Royal Assent. It is therefore unlikely to become law.
