Once again it shows the weakness of a Defined Benefits  pension plan,  much admired by many,  compared to a Defined Contribution plan.  
The money in a DB belongs to the Plan and not to the Contributor as it does in a DC plan. If a DB  goes bust  or when the contributor dies, maybe early in life leaving a family , he/she can lose all the pension money   In a DC Plan all  the pension money - both the employer and  the employee's contributions plus any accrued interest belongs to the  the employee. He/she who can take it with him if he changes jobs or if he dies it can either be rolled over without tax to a spousal RRSP  or it goes to his/her estate after tax. 
The reason a DB Plan usually  pays more pension than DC plan is because those that die early and draw little or no pension from it subsidies those that live longer

Unless you work for the government beware of a DB plan,  you can lose the lot.
