Pension Law: Implications

Implications Dept: If the judge decides to strike down the law, it could have wide-ranging implications for pensions, health benefits and immigration policies, a Vancouver lawyer said Tuesday, according to Vancouver Sun. "It could affect pension law, survivor rights to pensions," he said. And it could affect health benefits if a person claims more than one spouse and children from multiple marriages and the constitutionality of Canada's polygamy law will be decided this morning by B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman. "Potentially there are a number of implications beyond whether or not polygamy is legal," Ron Skolrood explained. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
