                <![CDATA[
                Under the Income Tax Act, from the date of retirement until age 65, retirees who choose to receive variable benefit 
                (VB) payments must pay more tax on their retirement income than retirees who choose to receive a traditional, fixed pension. 
                CSS Pension Plan has been lobbying the Government of Canada to correct this unfairness. To date, Finance Canada has indicated 
                that no change is planned.

                Members who wish to remain in the Plan after retirement, but do not favour a traditional annuity-style pension, now have 
                a second retirement income option. Starting September 1st, 2006, the Plan began to offer Variable Benefit (VB) Payments to retired 
                members in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, and in Manitoba starting July 1st, 2007. VB payments are simply periodic 
                withdrawals of your own funds from your account.
