It wa&s my privilege ta act as c7nairmnan 0f the Special CommTittee of the Whole Hlouse Wlhich mect, 1n March 26 ta disdliSS the provisions of th e BÎiI. Present for the Oc- casion ta provide informati on for the memybers were: Mr. George . Cathe rcoeichairman of the On- tarlo Conimirittee on, portable Pen- s,«or,,, and mnembers Of bis com- mtttee including Profesor ID. C.ý MacGi'egoi' 0f the University of Toronto, Professor Robert Clark'et the UniversitY Of Britishi Colunmbia, Mr. R. E. Davis, former Director 0f the Wefai'e Council for Canada, Mr. Jh Tuk of the Canadian Lif e UnderwrItei'5 Association and Professor H-endry, Director Of the School of Social Work at the Uni- versIty of Toronto. Aiso present were the consulting actuaries for thie Committee, Prof essor Shep- pard, Mr. Lawrence Cowa'd and Mr. Samuel Eckier. Considerable discussion centred around Subsection (t) Section 1 Of the Bill which provides mandatoI'Y coverage under the plan for thdse emplo>yers with 15ý or more em- ployees. it was feit, that thîs would beave a large group Of employees in the Province wlthout the bene- fits 0f the plan. Mr. Vern Singed, M.P.P. for York Centre, referred to this section of the Act when he addressed a meeting recentiy at Warkworth. "Portable Pensions", lie said, "were proniised for people wlio work in estabiislime nts where there are more than 15 employees. This takes care of about lhaif the people of the province." In the discussion respecting th15 section of the Adt the following f acts were brouglit out as to wly the nuniber 15 was cliosen. 1. Aithougli the Committee would liked to have recommended cov- erage for ail emnployees at the starI 0of the plan, il would have pre- sented a very serious administrat- ataesand others knoWiedge- able in the field. With oniy a 11dm- ited numrber of these trained per- sonnel available, any furtlier ex- tension of the plan at this timne would add a greater admiinistrative burden and would delay introduC- tion of the plan. 6. The aim Of the plan is Of coure tacovr every emiployee in coue pr ove vefltuaîîy. There are at the present tirfeie anY eTnpoy ers with fewer thanl 15 empoYe who have pension plans and these will no doflbt corne it the plan on' a coluntary basis. 7. Many employers wlio are not comnpelled to follOW« the mandatOrY provisions of the Act wl voluntar- ily or because incopetitive forc- es be brought intO a position where tliey will adopt pension plans and have themn registered undet' the A1ýct «on s. Under the -present provlslof1. of the Act, wherbY firmns With or maore emnplO>Yees are enrolled, 5ppOxiiatlY60 per cent or 2,- 400,000 of the paid emIPloYesin the province will be brought withifl the scope of this plan. There are miany enPIpoyers with f ewer than 15 employees Who Would perhaps bave a very limiited numn- ber of their emnpoyees eligible for the plan because workers under the age of 30 are not comipeiled to participate. This age limnit is set becaUse of the large numnbet' of, wa7rkei'5under the age o 0who are constanty changing jobs n wlia if covieied would present a real administrative probiemn. Tt is therefore possible that an emplý,oy- er might not have any eligible 'n- ployees. ThiS WoUld therefoi'e de- crea se considerably the numnber of those not covered under the plan. 10. WIth the view of covering as ,quickiy as possible ahl employees in the province, provisious have been made for the appointiiieflt Of an advisory committee, in 1970 and at intervals of 5 years thereafter to examine the Act and report to the Miisgter its recommiendatiOns for amendmehts to the Act and its regulations. irune Flowers Create Setting For Shak-Hanmcock Wedding decorated with peonies and other June flowers was the setting for the marriage ceremofly of Peter, soln of Mrs. Natalia Shak of Tor- onto, and Helen Margaret, eider daughter of Mr. and Mrs. nobert lîancoçk of Orono on Saturday, June 20kh, 1963 at 4:00 o'clock. the, double-ring ceremofly.
