No. 122 2nd Session, 15th Legislature, Alberta 13 Elizabeth II BILL 122 A Bill to amend The Public Service Pension Act HON. MR. HOOKE Printed by L. S. V\T ALL, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, Edmonton, Alberta, 1965

Explanatory Note I. This Bill amends

chapter 264 of the Revised Statutes.. 2. 35a. The present

section 35 deals with pensions of federal government employees who become provincial employees upon the transfer of any functions from Canada to the Province. The new

section 35a makes similar provision for those cases where the pro­ vincial government assumes the functions of private organization; e.g., welfare or charitable institutions. 35b. The new

section 35b anticipates the necessity of varying certain requirements of

Part I in the event an agreement is made under the Canada Pension Plan between Canada and Alberta to include provincial employees in the Plan. A similar amendment is made in clause 3 of this Bill regarding the pensions of members of the Legislative Assembly and of the Executive Council. See also the Bill to amend The Local Authorities Pension Act.
