Pension Benefit Act changes give spouses more control
Winnipeg labor minister Gerrie Hammond announced amendments to the Pension Benefits Act allowing separating spouses to mutualy waive the mandatory splitting of pension assets if values are within 20 percent.

The changes aim to add flexibility in asset division while preserving pension income for separated spouses.
