Date: July 9, 2013
Section 4 of Schedule 44 of the Strong Action for Ontario Act (Budget Measures), 2012 has been proclaimed into force effective January 1, 2014.
Section 4 amends the Pension Benefits Act by repealing certain provisions relating to the Superintendent’s involvement in approving withdrawals from locked-in retirement savings arrangements.
