G's Age is 68, there fore he is eligible for pension splitting
Old-age security pension $7,100 and Canada Pension Plan $9,000 are not eligible for pension splitting
Assumed that former employer's pension plan is one of the pension plan among the eligible pension plans

There fore Maximum elected split-pension amount that can be reported on the tax return of G's spouse is up to 50 % ($34,000) = $ 17,000
