It's interesting to hear the same arguments across the table that were confronted in Ontario when they were making their changes. Ontario decided not to exclude pension plans from the legislation, and as far as I know, there's no harm caused by the elimination of mandatory retirement to any of these pension plans. I'd be hard pressed to see any example of that happening across Canada where mandatory retirement has been removed.
Similarly, I was happy to hear the person representing the armed forces mention BFORs, which is bona fide occupational requirements. That's certainly a better alternative than simply dismissing people because they've reached a certain age.
That's all I would like to say.
