Extension of Registered Retirement Savings Plan

75.15 Extension of Registered Retirement Savings Plan

Whereas, There is growing awareness of the need for each person to build up savings for retirement independent of marital status;

Whereas, The Registered Retirement Savings Plans provide an incentive for retirement savings through the postponing of tax, up to limits, in the savings accumulated for retirement, and have become a major vehicle for voluntary savings for retirement; therefore,

RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to permit, within the provisions of the Income Tax Act;

  1. The taxpayer to be allowed to contribute to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan for the benefit of his or her spouse.

Note: The Year Book does not continue with this resolution beyond this first point.
