The following is a short summary:<br/><br/>Clauses 475 to 514 of Bill C-45, A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, as originally proposed, would have amended the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act, proposing several changes to the pension regime for members of Parliament. On 19 October 2012, through unanimous consent, the House of Commons passed an order extracting those clauses from Bill C-45, and creating a new bill, Bill C-46, An Act to amend the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act. As part of this order, Bill C-46 was deemed to have passed all legislative stages in the House. <br/><br/>The changes to the pension regime in what is now Bill C-46 include a change in the rates at which a member of Parliament contributes to his or her pension benefits, such that not later than 1 January 2017, the total amount of contributions to be paid by members will increase to meet 50% of the current service cost of benefits payable. Amendments also raise the retirement age of members from 55 to 65, with reductions in compensation allowances for members who claim them prior to the age of 65. A member is not eligible to receive an allowance earlier than his or her 55th birthday. The rate of interest credited to the pension accounts for members changes from approximately 10.4% to a quarterly rate set out in the most recent valuation report for this Act under section 9 of the Public Pensions Reporting Act. The allowances payable to former Prime Ministers who cease to hold the office of Prime Minister after 31 December 2012 are decreased from two-thirds of annual remuneration to 3% of earnings per year of service as Prime Minister, while the age of retirement for former Prime Ministers holding office after 6 February 2012 rises to 67. Bill C-46 also contains certain transitional amendments, as well as amendments to coordinate allowances with pension benefits paid under the Canada Pension Plan or under a similar provincial pension plan.</div> <div>La Bibliothèque du Parlement ne prépare pas de Résumés législatifs pour les projets de loi débattus dans un contexte d’urgence. Ce qui suit est un court résumé :<br/><br/>Les articles 475 à 514 du projet de loi C-45, Loi no. 2 portant exécution de certaines dispositions du budget déposé au Parlement le 29 mars 2012 et mettant en œuvre d’autres mesures, dans sa forme initiale, auraient modifié la Loi sur les allocations de retraite des parlementaires, proposant plusieurs changements dans le régime de retraite des députés. Le 19 octobre 2012, avec le consentement unanime, la Chambre des communes a adopté un ordre retirant ces articles du projet de loi C-45 et créant un nouveau projet de loi, le C-46, Loi modifiant la Loi sur les allocations de retraite des parlementaires. Aux termes de cet ordre, le projet de loi C-46 a franchi automatiquement toutes les étapes de l’étude législative à la Chambre. <br/><br/>Parmi les changements apportés au régime de retraite, dans ce qui est maintenant le projet de loi C 46, les taux de cotisation des députés pour leurs prestations de retraite ont été modifiés de telle sorte que le 1er janvier 2017, au plus tard, le montant total des cotisations à verser par un parlementaire augmentera de manière à atteindre 50 % du coût des prestations de service courant relativement aux prestations à payer. Les changements, qui font aussi passer l’âge de la retraite des parlementaires de 55 à 65 ans, prévoient une réduction des allocations compensatoires pour les parlementaires qui les demandent avant l’âge de 65 ans. Un parlementaire ne peut recevoir d’allocation avant son 55e anniversaire de naissance. Le taux d’intérêt porté au crédit du compte d’allocations des parlementaires passe d’environ 10,4 % à un taux trimestriel établi dans le plus récent rapport d’évaluation actuarielle à l’égard de la présente loi, en application de l’article 9 de la Loi sur les rapports relatifs aux pensions publiques. Les allocations à payer aux anciens premiers ministres qui cessent d’occuper les fonctions de premier ministre après le 31 décembre 2012 passeront des deux tiers de la rémunération annuelle à 3 % des gains par année de service à titre de premier ministre, tandis que l’âge de la retraite des premiers ministres qui assument les fonctions de premier ministre après le 6 février 2012 passe à 67 ans. Le projet de loi C-46 prévoit aussi certains amendements transitoires pour assurer la coordination des allocations avec les prestations de retraite versées en vertu du Régime de pensions du Canada ou d’un régime de pensions provincial semblable.</div> <div>The Library of Parliament does not prepare Legislative Summaries for bills debated under urgency and emergency.
