"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, pension benefits serve a very important role in the life of a pensioner and should be able to be paid as soon as possible when an officer retires. Currently, pension schemes are allowed a maximum of 60 days to determine and to pay benefits after a member has retired. Pension schemes should be able to determine and to pay pension benefits within a shorter period. In this regard, I am proposing to amend the law to reduce the maximum period allowed from 60 days to 30 days. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, when I presented my first Budget last year, I outlined bold and comprehensive measures that were aimed at getting us out of a very difficult situation. Despite the initial implementation challenges that I mentioned earlier, I think it is fair to say that we have done reasonably well under the circumstances."
