75.14A Surviving Spouse’s Benefits Under the Public Service Superannuation Act
Whereas, Marriage creates a partnership to which both husband and wife contribute equally, though differently; and
Whereas, In contributing to superannuation, both husband and wife make a mutual current sacrifice in the interests of a future security of which neither should be deprived; therefore,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to introduce equity between spouses into the Public Service Superannuation Act, by:
- Establishing a rate of benefit to be paid after the death of either spouse; and,
- Applying the same rate of benefit regardless of which spouse survives.
