Financial Measures (2012) Act  -  Bill 17


The 2012 Public Service Superannuation Act is the next step in the move to joint trusteeship that began in 2010. It will create the Public Service Superannuation Plan Trustee Inc., which will have directors representing employers, employees, and retirees, and will assume responsibility for the Public Service Superannuation Plan.

The Nova Scotia Pension Service Corporation Act will devolve the Nova Scotia Pension Agency from the government. The new non-profit corporation will provide pension and investment administration services for all plans currently served by the pension agency.

These changes do not reduce or change any pension benefits. The transition will take about a year.

A fact sheet on the Financial Measures (2012) Act can be found on the Department of Finance's website, at
