"content": " Hon. Members, I have additional information that has been provided to me. I would like to read a portion of it, which is, really, the essence of the Bill before us:- âThe essence of this Bill is to change the time when the pensionersâ benefits are payable, so that pensionersâ benefits begin to be paid upon retirement, instead of having to wait until one is 50 years old. There is no element of increase of the financial obligations to the Government. This is because pension benefits, under the Pensions Act, rest in the retiree on the date of retirement but, currently, payment of these benefits is deferred until the retiree is 50 years old. What the Bill is doing is removing this need for a retiree to wait to get his or her money, which is already owed to him or her, until he or she is 50 years old.â"
