Pensions

TORONTO (CP) — The
federal government intends
to protect pensions from
being. eroded by Inflation,
Health Minister David
Cromble said Monday.

Speaking to the
Association, of Penslon
Management, Crombie also
said the government would
like to see the mandatory re:
tirement age of 15 removed
and pensions administered
differently to allow for
mobility in the work force so
that people won't be
penalized for leaving a job.

The needs of women will

be examined, Crombie said,

U.S. Treasury Secretary
William Miller said Oteiba's
atatemente are an indication
that the influence of OPEC
price hawks may be
receding. |

Miller is in Abu Dhabl, one

three Arab oil-producing
countries. He travels to
Kuwait later today and will
stop briefly in London before
returning home Thursday,

Although Crombie did not

protection agalnst inflation
and allowance for mobility
were urgently needed,

He added that legislation
