Bill C-397 - An Act to amend certain Acts in relation to survivor pension benefits

"If you are in receipt of a pension under the Regular Force Pension Plan, you can provide an Optional Survivor Benefit (OSB) for your new spouse if you get married after age 60 only if:

• you marry and apply for OSB within one year of your marriage; and
• you agree to reduce your current level of pension in exchange for providing a survivor pension to your new spouse at your death"
