I, , hereby certify that I am the spouse or common-law partner as defined by the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985, of .

I understand that my spouse or common-law partner has elected to transfer their pension benefit credit and that my written consent is required to enable my spouse or common-law partner to do so.

I understand that

• (a) transferring the pension benefit credit will allow my spouse or common-law partner to manage their own pension fund and will allow flexibility in determining the amount that will be paid to my spouse or common-law partner in each calendar year;

• (b) the transferred funds may be used to purchase a life annuity at a later date, but there is no requirement that the funds be used to purchase a life annuity;

• (c) if the transferred funds are used to purchase a life annuity, the life annuity must be in the joint and survivor form unless I waive my entitlements by signing a separate waiver form within 90 days before the day on which the annuity payments begin.

I further understand that transferring the pension benefit credit to a retirement savings plan of the prescribed kind will allow my spouse or common-law partner to withdraw some of the funds each year, subject to any minimum and maximum withdrawal limits. I understand, however, that the amount of pension income or survivor benefit available to me in later years may be significantly reduced if

• (a) my spouse or common-law partner elects to withdraw the maximum amount permitted each year; or

• (b) the investment performance is poor.

Nevertheless, I consent to the transfer of the pension benefit credit to a retirement savings plan of the prescribed kind and certify that

• (a) I have read this form and understand it;

• (b) neither my spouse or common-law partner nor anyone else has put any pressure on me to sign this form;

• (c) I realize that

  • (i) this form only gives a general description of the legal rights I have under the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 and the Pension Benefits Standards Regulations, 1985, and

  • (ii) if I wish to understand exactly what my legal rights are I must read the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 and the Pension Benefits Standards Regulations,1985 or seek legal advice; and

• (d) I realize that I am entitled to keep a copy of this consent form.

To consent to the transfer, I sign this consent form at on , 20.
