Yes and no. Some of the seniors groups I have spoken with are well aware that they can split some of their pensions, but over the years, and the income they have coming in from their pension.... It might be interesting for you to have a conversation with them to see what they have to say. It's not just specific to that; they are asking for some laws to be changed, specifically to help them, other than what's existing right now.
