Summary:
According to the employer, positions were abolished by attrition. The beneficiary chose to retire in order to receive the early retirement package and take advantage of the pension offered by the employer. This does not meet the criteria for a staff cut program set forth in s. 56.1 of the Regulations.
The evidence on record shows that the beneficiary left his position, not in order to make way for a younger employee, but to take advantage of a pre-retirement package and receive the pension offered by the employer. This reason may be a good one, but does not provide sufficient grounds under the Act.
