History
The Commission was appointed by Order in Council on 11 August 1981 to consider the pension needs of Nova Scotians and to make recommendation on the necessary or desirable changes in laws and regulations pertaining to the pension of Nova Scotians. Appointed as Chair was Charles Vaughan, a former mayor of Halifax, and as members Dr Ellen McLean of Eureka, Pictou County, J Bruce MacDonald, of Halifax, William Marsh of New Waterford, Herbert Hart of Dartmouth, Rose Chandler of Liverpool, Stewart Vair, of North Sydney, George Piercey of Halifax and R. Aurele Bickerton, of Canning. The Commission studied the situation in a number of Canadian jurisdictions and reviewed a number of reports and legislative studies before receiving input through public hearings held throughout the province and written submissions. The Commission issued an interim report on 21 June 1982 that contained recommendations on what it saw as immediate issues including child-care drop-out provisions and improved portability provisions for locked in Registered Retirement Savings Plans. The Commission issued its final report in 1983 which included a dissenting report from one of the Commissioners.
