Title or working title of regulatory initiative
Creating Regulations Related to Electronic Documents and Information Under the Public Service Pension Plan
Enabling act(s)
Description
The creation of Regulations Related to Electronic Documents and Information Under the Public Service Pension Plan is required to modernize the Public Service Superannuation Regulations which provide that certain administrative functions for the public service pension plan be completed using paper-based processes. Under the Public Service Superannuation Act, regulations will be made to permit the potential use of electronic means to create, communicate, and otherwise deal with required documents and information.
Key objective(s)
To modernize the Public Service Superannuation Regulations so that the use of electronic technologies and processes are permissible in the administration of the public service pension plan.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
Regulatory cooperation is not required as this initiative is internal to the management of the public service pension plan.
Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses
There are no expected impacts on Canadians, including businesses, as they relate to the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s role as an employer.
Consultations
Consultations will be held with the Public Service Pension Advisory Committee, comprised of employer, employee and retiree representatives.
Public consultations are not applicable as this issue is internal to the management of the public service pension plan.
