Jean-Pierre also drafted a private member’s bill in the Parliament of Canada that focused the federal government on adopting legislation to protect long-term disabled workers operating in federal employment. His most recent publication in the Canadian Tax Journal is entitled “A Review of Individual Pension Plans”.
