Subject: Official Information Act request - Canada Pension Plan deductions from New Zealand Superannuation. Permission from the Canadian Government.

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

I understand that it is the MSD's position that Chinese pensions cannot be deducted from New Zealand Superannuation payments under section 70 of the Social Security Act because permission to do so has not be obtained from the Chinese Government.

Please provide me with documented proof that the Canadian Government has given permission for Canadian Old Age Security and Canada Pension Plan payments to be deducted from New Zealand Superannuation benefits.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Latimer
