Bill No. 23 of 1946. A BILL TO AMEND THE OLD AGE PENSIONS (SUPPLEMENTARY ALLOWANCES) ACT NOTE. This Bill amends

section 4a of the above Act. This

section provides for the payment of the supplementary allowance to a pensioner who has removed to another Provinc.e, which Province also pays a supplementary allowance. The section. however, 'Only authorized the pension authority of Alberta to pay to such Alberta pensioners a monthly additional allowance equal to that paid by such 'Other Province but not exceeding the sum 'Of five dollars per month. The Pr'Ovince of Saskatchewan only pays an additi'Onal all'Owance 'Of thre6 dollars per month, and the effe.ct of the

section was tc prevent the pension authority 'Of Alberta paying more than three dollars per month to Alberta residents in Saskat­ ,chewan. The ,purpose of the amendment is to strike out this limitation and enable Alberta to pay up to five dollars per month to pensioners who have removed ,to Saskatchewan. The Bill also validates an Order in Council dated July 6th, 1945, which was passed subject to validation auth'Orizing this increase. W. S. GRAY, Legislative Counsel.
