This Bill adds the new tax-free savings plan to the savings plans that can pay a benefit directly to a person designated as a beneficiary by the plan holder, instead of to the plan holder's estate, on the death of the plan holder.
1 Clause 9(1)(b) of Chapter 36 of the Revised Statutes, 1989, the Beneficiaries Designation Act, is amended by adding ", a tax-free savings plan" immediately after "fund" in the second line.
2 This Act comes into force on such day as the Governor in Council orders and declares by proclamation.
