Request under the Access to Information Act — decisions of the Treasury Board under subsection 11(4) of the RCMP Superannuation Act, 2000 to 2026 — with a request for a fee waiver under subsection 11(2)
Hello,
I make this request under section 6 of the Access to Information Act. I am a person present in Canada and entitled to make this request under subsection 4(1) of the Act as extended by the Access to Information Act Extension Order, No. 1.
CONTEXT.
Subsection 11(4) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act entitles a contributor compulsorily retired from the Force by reason of misconduct to a return of contributions, and to any further benefit only in the discretion of the Treasury Board. Subsection 11(10) does the same for members not holding a rank. On 23 September 2026 the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat wrote to me that "neither the Treasury Board nor the President of the Treasury Board has authority under the PSSA to reduce or withhold a public servant's pension benefit because the person was dismissed for misconduct." This request is separate from file A-2026-00378, which asks for the records behind the repeal of 1999. The records below concern how the RCMP rule has been applied and assessed.
RECORDS REQUESTED.
Period: 1 January 2000 to the date this request is received, unless an item says otherwise.
1. Every decision of the Treasury Board under paragraph 11(4)(b) or 11(10)(b) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act, with the submission it decided, personal information severed under section 19.
2. Records that show, by fiscal year, the number of such decisions and the outcome of each: the whole benefit, a part of it, or none.
3. Briefing notes, memoranda and analyses prepared on or after 1 January 2000 for the President of the Treasury Board, the Secretary of the Treasury Board or the Chief Human Resources Officer on subsection 11(4) or 11(10) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act. The same for any paper on extending a comparable rule to the Public Service Superannuation Act.
4. The records that identify, by name and title, the author of the message sent to me on 23 September 2026 from the Pension Policy and Programs mailbox ([email protected]), and every draft of that message.
5. For each item above for which no responsive record exists, a statement to that effect, item by item, naming the officer who conducted the search, in accordance with the duty to assist in subsection 4(2.1) of the Act.
FEE.
I ask that the application fee be waived under subsection 11(2). The records concern the public interest in the accountability of federal officeholders, and my income is social assistance. If the fee is not waived, give the decision under subsection 11(2) in writing, with reasons and the name and title of the officer who made it.
DELIVERY.
By email, to this address. Confirm receipt with the file number and the date of receipt under section 7.
Respectfully,
Danilo Dzyuban
