This is a technical amendment that had been released in September 2016 for comment. My colleague Pierre is just more of a pension expert than I am, but this is a technical tax amendment.
It essentially allows couples to be able to split the retirement income security benefit under part 2 of the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Act for the purposes of pension income splitting rules, and the existing registered pension plan limits. It's an enhancement to previously announced, or previously enacted, rules to provide for proper income splitting, or proper splitting of pension income in the context of this retirement income security benefit.
