Attention: Mike Caldwell (613) 957-3498Subject: Ontario Provincial Court Judges Pension Plan
Enclosed please find our reply of March 5, 1990 and our more recent reply to 19(1) regarding the limits on contribution to RRSPs for members of the above noted plan. As indicated therein, the above noted plan is a registered pension plan, therefore, members are restricted by paragraph 146(5)(a) of the Income Tax Act on their RRSP contributions.
The statements in Legislation Branch Letter 78-13 relate to federally appointed judges and not Ontario provincial court judges.
Would you please advise 19(1) of the department's position.
