summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
earnings pension not savings
Summary:

I agree that as a matter of logic if funds paid out of a trust fund as vacation pay are treated as savings, not earnings, the same should be true for pension payments. This would void reg. 57(2)(e). O'CONNOR and COTE implicitly reject such a finding.
