Project overview

On November 7, 2003, An Act to amend the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts received Royal Assent, changing Regular Force pensions and introducing pension arrangements for the Reserve Force.

These changes:

• support CF human resource strategy,
• meet the goals of CF members,
• recognize the uniqueness of military service, and
• result from research, member consultation, and work with CFPAC .

CFPMP modernizes CF pensions, another positive response to SCONDVA's 1998 Report on Quality of Life in the Canadian Forces.

Ongoing work will develop:

• policies and regulations,
• administration systems and processes, and
• communication to help Regular and Reserve Force members to make informed decisions about their personal situation,

and ensure that:

• benefits are secure, and
• government pension policy is respected.

Review Modernizing the Canadian Forces Superannuation Act for details on:

• how we got here,
• what's changing,
• what's next, and
• where to get more information.
