What is the test for making contributions to pension and survivor benefits?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from The Queen v. Beauregard, [1986] 2 SCR 56, 1986 CanLII 24 (SCC):
10. Addy J. dismissed the respondent's argument based on s. 1(b) of the Canadian Bill of Rights. He said that that provision was not concerned with issues relating to the "mere quantum of remuneration for services rendered". Additionally, following the language of McIntyre J. of this Court in MacKay v. The Queen, 1980 CanLII 217 (SCC), [1980] 2 S.C.R. 370 at p. 406, he held that the requirement of making contributions for pension and survivor benefits was not "arbitrary, capricious or unnecessary" and therefore did not constitute a denial of equality before the law. Federal Court of Appeal
