Yes, thank you. I ended up finding a GIS calculator and basically the best case scenario is for my mother to withdraw all of her RSPs in one shot (which she'll do this year). I have another question, though:
Assuming both sides are consenting, can an RSP transfer occur from one separated spouse to another? I found this PDF
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pbg/tf/t2220/t2220-10e.pdf) and was just wondering if there needs to be a "REASON" for the transfer (i.e. RSP transfer is requested in a Separation Agreement), or if it can just occur at separated spouses will. If my father, who is not a senior or collecting Old Age Security, consented to this transfer and bought my mother's RSPs from her (in cash), this would release my mother from her massive income spike and pass it on to my father like a hot potato...is that correct?
