In today’s economic, climate pension issues are, more than ever, the
focus of attention from the media and the public. In turn, pension committee
members are under increasing pressure from their board of
directors, regulators and benefi ciaries to diligently oversee the administration
and operation of their pension plan. In reality, however, many
pension committees could be doing more to discharge their fi duciary
duty and meet stakeholder expectations. This panel discussion will
examine the increased expectations placed on pension committee
members and the steps committee members can take to effectively
carry out their responsibilities.
· What skill sets should a pension committee include?
· What is the committee’s scope of responsibility?
· Where do you fi nd great committee members
and how can appointees acquire the knowledge
they need to carry out their duties?
· What is the committee’s role in educating plan members?
· How should a pension committee keep the board
properly informed on key pension issues?
10:00-10:45
EVALUATING THE PENSION COMMITTEE
Anthony T. Lennie, Director, Finance,
Victoria University (in the University of Toronto)
Assessing the pension committee’s performance is one of the most
challenging, yet one of the most important, procedures in ensuring
sound pension governance. This activity goes hand-in-hand with improved
transparency and accountability. This presentation will highlight
Victoria University’s pension committee assessment and how the strategies
can be applied successfully in your organization.
· Self assessment using principle-based guidelines
· Developing an understanding of trustees’
and staff’s roles and responsibilities
· Filling in the gaps

DEVELOPING THE GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Alain S. Malaket, Senior Director, Pension & Benefits,
George Weston Limited and Loblaw Companies Limited
Establishing the right pension governance structure begins with an effective
design and implementation strategy. Identifying the corporate
style and structure of the organization, the needs of pension members,
economic constraints and the different attributes of various types
and sizes of retirement plans involved, are just some of the factors
that need to be considered. This presentation will highlight these key
aspects and the decision-making processes involved in building an effective
governance system.
· Overcoming obstacles to good governance
· Planning your governance structure:
success criteria and future challenges
· Maintaining communications to plan members
and benefi ciaries as part of fi duciary responsibilities
· Joint trusteeship: advantages and disadvantages

committee members to have a thorough understanding of the current
regulatory landscape as it affects legal requirements for pension plans
and administrators. This discussion details the key elements of the legislative
and regulatory environment in which pension plans operate.
· The role of federal and provincial Pension Benefi ts Acts
· The role of the Income Tax Act

EFFECTIVE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PENSION MANAGEMENT:
TCC PENSION PLAN BEST PRACTICES
Brian Leck, General Counsel, Toronto Transit Commission
Establishing and implementing a reasonable pension plan governance
policy will not completely insulate a sponsor from liability, but the absence
of a policy or the failure to implement it is likely to be a factor
that encourages a court to find against a plan sponsor. A properly constructed
governance process coupled with periodic governance audits
should allow plan sponsors to identify potential sources of obligation
and deal with them before they result in liability. This discussion details
how the Toronto Transit Commission’s pension plan fosters effective
accountability and governance practices.
· Implications of the recent draft of CAPSA pension plan governance
principles, guidelines and self assessment questionnaire
· Integrating pension governance into corporate governance
· Fiduciary duties and responsibilities
· Establishing internal procedures for managing pensions
· Monitoring the fund on an ongoing basis
2:00-2:45
A UNION PERSPECTIVE ON PENSION PLAN GOVERNANCE
Jo-Ann Hannah, National Representative, CAW-Canada
As one of the largest private-sector unions in Canada (with almost
200,000 members), the CAW-Canada has made employer-sponsored
pensions a priority in bargaining. The CAW-Canada has successfully
negotiated and maintained pension plans with small employers as well
as large corporations such as Air Canada, General Motors and CN
Rail. The session will cover:
· Different approaches among unions on pension plan governance
· Governance issues with defined contribution plans
· How unions and plan sponsors can work together
in the interests of plan members

OSFI’S EXPECTATIONS FOR MANAGING PENSION PLAN RISK
Lisa Peterson, Manager, Private Pension Plans Division,
Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada
Risk management is the process of analyzing exposure to risk and
developing & implementing mechanisms to handle such exposure. The
Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI),
which supervises and regulates federally regulated private pension
plans, assesses the quality of risk management at two levels of control:
operational management and oversight functions. This session
will examine OSFI’s expectations with respect to managing pension
plan risk, including:
· OSFI’s Risk Assessment Framework for pension plans
· Risk components for pension plans
· Quality of risk management
· Stress testing: A risk management tool

LIABILITY AND THE FIDUCIARY

a mistake can have serious consequences not only for the plan sponsor,
but also for pension committee/board of trustees personally. This
discussion details the legal framework governing the role of the plan
fiduciary, with a view to helping both new and experienced pension
committee members and plan trustees make better decisions.
· A plan sponsor’s "two hats"

DC PLAN ISSUES
Renée Couture, Director, Pension Services, Regulation,
Compliance and Member Information, Canada Post
Defined contribution pension committee members need to examine,
at the appropriate level of detail, how plan participants actually make
use of the DC plan, including such elements as investment behaviour,
contribution levels and how participants access plan information. Establishing
successful plan communications that actually engage plan
participants of a defined contribution plan is a big challenge faced by
sponsors. This presentation will examine the unique issues involved
with DC plans, outlining some of the best practices and new ideas in
communication.
· Participant investment behaviour
· Investment advice for plan participants
· Investment options: active management, index funds,
target date funds, target risk, customized vs. “off the shelf”
· Retirement income issues: projections, calculators, plan design
· Benchmarking key aspects of your plan administration
as a continuous improvement process
9:45-10:30
THE IMPORTANCE OF RISK MANAGEMENT
TO GOOD GOVERNANCE
Bruce Curwood, Director, Investment Strategy,
Russell Investment Group
Under performance is a symptom of ineffective decision making and
risk management. In view of the size of the assets involved and the
difficult judgments to be made, it is vital that trustees develop the highest
standards and adhere to strict governance and risk management
processes. Designing and implementing an effective pension governance
system involves careful planning, a support structure and the
necessary processes and procedures of a policy-based framework.
This session will discuss recent governance research, the major barriers
to investment excellence and ways to narrow the knowing-doing
gap in investments.
· Governance structure and linkage with risk management
· The key participants in plan governance: who should be involved
· Identifying the corporate style and structure of the organization,
the needs of pension members, economic constraints and the
different attributes of various types and sizes of retirement plans
· Determining if a risk management strategy is
right for your specific plan
· Barriers to action in risk management
· The vital role of the chair

THE FUTURE OF CAP
Michael Marmoreo, Regional Vice President, Group Pensions,
Industrial Alliance Insurance and Financial Services Inc.
The past decade has witnessed the growth of CAP plans, coupled with
an increase in DB/DC conversions. The future does not appear promising
for DB plans, with escalating funding costs and loss of surplus
ownership spurring a new round of conversions to CAP. This session
will examine some of the challenges facing CAP plans (contribution
and retirement inadequacy, lack of education and low participation
rates) and explore possible solutions.
· Where have CAPs been and where are they going?
· Death of DB plans and the ensuing lack of coverage
· Potential solutions: CSPPs and DPSPs
· Low participation and contribution levels:
causes and potential solutions
· Failure of education
· Replacement income adequacy
· Recommended regulatory changes
11:30-12:15
MANAGING SERVICE PROVIDER CONTRACTS
Randy V. Bauslaugh, McCarthy Tétrault LLP
Pension committees commonly use service provider contracts when
assigning administrative or financial duties to others. This session will
provide suggestions and tips for negotiating and managing third party
service provider contracts.
· Contract basics for all third party service agreements
· It’s not just boilerplate: interpreting “standard”
language in service provider contracts
· Common clauses in service provider contracts
that should cause pension committee concern
· Suggestions for dealing with investment management agreements

RETIREMENT INCOME GOALS FROM A DC PLAN PERSPECTIVE
Jim Cowan, President, J S Cowan Consulting Ltd.
DC plans, like DB plans, are intended to provide your employees with
a reasonable standard of living in retirement, when combined with Old
Age Security and the Canada/Québec Pension Plan. Unlike DB plans
however, DC plans have outcomes that are difficult to predict, and the
alternatives that are available to members at retirement are not always
well understood. As a committee member it is essential that you understand
your plan design and the outcomes that it is likely to produce.
· Replacement ratios:
· what is a replacement ratio
· what is your replacement ratio target: before
or after tax, with or without OAS and CPP/QPP
· what assumptions are appropriate in setting your target:
length of career, age at retirement, investment
returns, inflation, final earnings etc.
· Conversion of DC assets to retirement income:
alternatives available to plan members
· Member education: financial planning tools you should
make available to plan members & risks involved

GROUP DECISION MAKING FOR PENSION
AND INVESTMENT COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Clark Steffy, Senior Account Executive, Group Retirement Solutions,
Manulife Financial
Effective versus ineffective decision making by groups, due to behavioural
biases, can have a significant impact on governance decisions
by pension committee members. This session will examine the key
requirements for effective group decision making in pension governance.
· Cognitive diversity of the decision group
· Maintaining independence of opinion
· Avoidance of group dynamics traps that lead
to polarization of the groups opinion
· Effective utilization of local and tacit knowledge
3:45-4:30
FIDUCIARY DUTIES
Deron Waldock, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP
Trustees are responsible for the proper running of the pension plan
- from collection of contributions to investment of assets and payment
of benefits. Plan members, particularly in a time of economic turbulence,
look to the trustee to ensure that the plan is well run and that
their benefits are secure. As such, trustees must act independently of
the employer in accordance with the trust deed, for the benefit of the
plan members. This discussion will detail the key fiduciary duties of
trustees.
· Acting in the best interests of the plan beneficiaries: a definition
· The duty of impartiality: what it means in a trustee context
· Acting in line with the trust deed and rules
· Communicating to members their rights and entitlements
· Ensuring required contributions are remitted to the plan on time,
that funds are invested prudently and that benefits paid are
correct, timely and in line with plan terms and the law

SESSION 4
Tuesday, November 22 nd

OPTIONAL WORKSHOP A Wednesday, November 23 rd - 9:00-noon
RISK MANAGEMENT: THE CORNERSTONE OF PENSION INVESTMENT
Bruce Curwood, Director, Investment Strategy, Russell Investment Group
The root cause of failure in pension risk management is poor governance. Most pension committee members place too much emphasis
on returns and don’t take the time it takes to understand and manage the risks in their funds. Intent on the process of determining a
plan’s asset allocation and manager selection and performance, they place risk management on the back burner. This hands-on interactive
workshop will break attendees into groups by size, type of fund and role, and demonstrate ways for fiduciaries to adopt better risk
management processes.
· The enormity and urgency of the risk management problem
· Paying sufficient attention to behavioural issues
· Accurately diagnosing the risk management deficit
· Understanding the complexity of risk and rethinking risk management
· Pursuing a fund-wide approach to risk: quantitative and qualitative risks
· Nine elements of a risk management framework
Bruce B. Curwood, MBA CFA CIMA, is Director Investment Strategy at the Russell Investment Group. His current responsibilities relate
primarily to research, strategy and client service.
OPTIONAL WORKSHOP B Wednesday, November 23 rd - 1:30-4:30
MANAGING A DB PLAN: FUNDING, REPORTING AND INVESTING FUNDAMENTALS
Cam MacNeish, Vice-President, Group Pension and Retirement Savings, Corporate Benefit Analysts
This interactive workshop will provide participants with a fundamental understanding of the key finance and investment management
elements within a single-employer DB pension plan. The handout material and workshop exercises will provide practical insights into
the strategic and tactical aspects of maintaining and reporting the liabilities, assets and funding of a DB plan within today’s current
economic environment. Also, the participants will obtain key information about the steps to prepare and implement a plan to transition
from a DB plan to a successor DC retirement plan.
· Long-term retirement program philosophy and goals
· Immediate and medium term financial position and impact of interest rates and market volatility
· Transition alternatives: plan closure to new members, benefit hard and soft freeze, conversion and plan wind-up
· Implementing the best solution to help ensure the organization meets its business objectives
As a practical example, participant groups will be assigned an exercise of developing and presenting case-study recommendations and
action plans to maintain a DB plan or transition the DB plan to a DC savings arrangement to a fictitious pension committee or board.
