N.B. government employee pensions unable to fund full cost of living amounts in 2023
Shared-risk plans struggle to keep up with record inflation
In a report to members this month, trustees of the Public Service Pension Plan which provides retirement benefits to about 18,000 former New Brunswick government department and crown corporation employees and their survivors said it will increase pension payments 5.24 per cent in 2023, instead of the 5.56 per cent it calculated the full cost of inflation to be.
The shortfall will cost the average retiree in the pension plan about $80 next year.
The report said the foregone amount "may be awarded in the future," if financial returns and funding levels in the pension fund allow it.
"This will be assessed in next year's Actuarial Valuation Report,' said the report.
Shielding pensioners from inflation losses had been a point of pride for trustees up until this year, telling members in a statement this spring that "the strong financial health and stable growth" of the pension fund was helping "members keep pace with the increase in today's cost of living, today and into the future."

counts for retirees who are seeing their pensions grow slower than
prices. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
Clifford Kennedy, a retired government employee and spokesperson for the coalition of former civil servants who unsuccessfully fought the conversion of their public pension plans to private control beginning in 2012, said less than full inflation protection will be hard on some retirees.
"We, like anybody else on a fixed income, have bills to pay and every one of those bills have gone up," said Kennedy.
Retired New Brunswick teachers will be the worst off.
Trustees of their pension fund will decide later in September what inflation adjustment former educators will get for 2023, but it is guaranteed to be well below both inflation and the 5.24 per cent announced for former civil servants.
Teachers have two inflation restrictions in their pension plan civil servants don't, including a provision that limits annual pension changes to 75 per cent of an inflation increase. A second provision caps inflation increases at 4.75 per cent per year.

model. (Brian Chisholm/CBC)
Larry Jamieson, the chair of the Board of Trustees of the New Brunswick Teachers' Pension Plan, said it is unclear in the text of pension plan documents if retired teachers are entitled to 75 per cent of the 5.56 per cent increase in inflation (assuming the pension plan can afford it) or are only entitled to 75 per cent of the 4.75 per cent cap.
One amount would generate a cost of living increase for pensioners of 4.17 per cent in 2023 and the other would generate 3.56 per cent.
Inflation in Canada this year is running at a 30 year high and Jamieson said the cost of living cap on teachers' pensions had been a non-issue for so long, it is not clear exactly how it works.
"It is confusing and that is one of the questions trustees will have to debate at the end of the month," said Jamieson on Wednesday.
"It never had an impact because we were never close to it."

returns were not enough in the last year to finance full cost of living

Pension changes introduced by the former government of Progressive Conservative premier David Alward's government, when Blaine Higgs was minister of finance, converted provincial public service pension plans from defined-benefit systems backed by government guarantees to what it called a shared-risk system.
Under the old system, retirees were guaranteed a fixed level of benefits and if the pensions were short of funds, the province had to cover the difference.
The new system eliminated the guaranteed level of benefits and relies on investment returns generated by the firm Vestcor to fund pensions.

The New Brunswick Teachers' Pension Plan (NBTPP)
The primary purpose of the New Brunswick Teachers’ Pension Plan (NBTPP) is to provide secure pensions to Teachers upon retirement and until death (including subsequent benefits to their spouse and eligible dependents as applicable) in respect of their service as teachers. Since 2014, the pension plan is managed by a Board of Trustees. The Board is responsible for the overall administration of the NBTPP, including oversight of the investments.
The Vestcor Investment Management Corporation (VIMC), formerly the New Brunswick Investment Management Corporation (NBIMC), provides investment management and advisory services to public sector-based pension funds and other pools of investment capital. The transition to VIMC took place on October 1, 2016 under the Vestcor Act by the Province of New Brunswick.
The New Brunswick Teachers’ Federation is responsible for pension services, although the Associations have appointed members of their respective staff to work in this area.

GO FIGURE WHY I LAUGHED AT THIS NONSENSE IN THE NEWS YEARS AGO OR WHY THE WHIMPY ERIK MILLET REGRETTED JERKING MY CHAIN AFTER MY LAST POLITICAL DEBATE WITH THE LAWYER ROB MOORE ET AL IN 2019
RCMP probing alleged threats against N.B. principal over O Canada flap
The principal of Belleisle Elementary School has filed a complaint with the Sussex RCMP after he alleged he received a slew of death threats because of his decision to limit O Canada to school assemblies.
Erik Millett alleged in a CBC News interview this week that he received death threats on the phone and through email, and was even threatened by one parent in his office.
The RCMP say they're focused on finding the person responsible for one particular face-to-face death threat and are counting on Millett' s co-operation to expand their investigation.
Millett said he never expected to be the target of abuse over his decision.
"The emails flooded in and then the death threats started," he told CBC News.
"I received threats by email, death threats over my phone at home. I had to have my telephone number changed."
Hard to probe email threats: police
Sgt. Claude Tremblay said the police are also aware of email threats that Millett alleged he received after his anthem decision became widely known.
Tremblay said it is more difficult for the police to investigate alleged electronic threats.
The RCMP received a complaint about the electronic threats more than a week ago and the police are investigating those email threats.
Millett became the focal point in a national debate over patriotism when it was learned that he stopped the daily playing of the national anthem in his school. The anthem is now reserved for monthly assemblies.
Millett said the decision was made to accommodate students whose parents objected to the morning ritual over religious grounds.
CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices
N.B. school principal received death threats in anthem dispute
School principal Erik Millett says he was flooded with hostile messages, including taunts and death threats, after his decision to stop the daily singing of the national anthem at Belleisle Elementary School in New Brunswick.
Millett, the school's principal, said in an exclusive interview with CBC News that he was inundated with more than 2,000 emails over the anthem controversy, but some of the negative messages crossed the line and became personal threats.
'He said that I should be ashamed of myself, that I embarrassed the community. He said that if my admin assistant wasn't there he would drag me outside by my shirt collar to the parking lot and beat me senseless.'— Erik Millett, school principal
"I received threats by email, death threats over my phone at home. I had to have my telephone number changed," he said.
Those threats were not relegated simply to the phone and internet. Millett also described how at the height of the anthem debate, he was sitting in his office with a student when a local parent walked in to speak with him.
"He said that I should be ashamed of myself, that I embarrassed the community. He said that if my admin assistant wasn't there he would drag me outside by my shirt collar to the parking lot and beat me senseless," Millett said.
"At that point, I said that our conversation, our meeting was over and I thanked him for coming in and sharing his opinion and I asked him to leave my office. He told me that I would be driven out of the community one way or the other."
The national controversy ignited after it became known that Millett had stopped the daily singing of O Canada at his elementary school in rural New Brunswick. Instead, students would sing the anthem monthly at a school assembly.
Some of New Brunswick's Conservative MPs attacked the move on the floor of the House of Commons as "political correctness run wild." Eventually, the district superintendent ordered that the anthem be returned as a daily practice in the school.
The principal said he is now seeing a psychologist as he attempts to overcome the backlash over the anthem dispute.
"It's pretty traumatic. I just hope that no teacher, no administrator has to go through something like that again," he said.
Principal didn't want to separate students
Millett has said that two parents objected to the anthem ritual on religious grounds, and that he and his staff took the necessary steps to foster an inclusive school.
Those measures, he said, are supported by human rights legislation and the Education Act.
He also bristled at the idea that students who did not want to be a part of the anthem's singing should step outside.
"Asking a student to leave the classroom every day at the primary level, I think that is unacceptable. That is not the kind of environment I want to create in a school where I'm at," he said.
"If I was a student I would not want to begin my day every day to leave the classroom and be separated from my peers."
But Millett said he was open to making accommodations for students who felt strongly about the anthem. He said he allowed Julia Boyd, whose mother Susan has led the charge to reinstate the daily song, to sing O Canada at the monthly school assemblies.
Parent asks: 'What about the majority?'
Susan Boyd, whose soldier nephew was killed in Afghanistan, said national symbols must stop being removed from the classroom.
"The Lord's Prayer is gone. The [Oath] of Allegiance is gone. It has come to the point that we don't want to offend the minority, we don't want to offend people," Boyd said.
"But what about the majority? Because we are at the point now that we are offended because our anthem is disappearing."
The anthem is once again being piped into classrooms at the elementary school over the public address system. And while O Canada has returned, it is not clear if Millett ever will.
"I really don't know when I'll be able to return to work. [I am] personally devastated by this," he said.
"I don't know whether I'll ever return to teaching or a principalship again."

"Rick Cuming, president of the New Brunswick Teachers' Association,
said it's going to be a lot more challenging for teachers at larger
schools to return to work.
He used the example of Leo Hayes High School and Fredericton High
School in Fredericton, which have at least 100 people on staff."
Yea right I wonder how many of the aforementioned staff remember me

It is great to see teachers returning to work ; but thinking that
learning from home via the internet will work for kids is a bit of a
joke . Education works because schools are structured , and provide a
structured learning environment . Cardy squandered $840,000 of the
taxpayers cash on computer equipment that was not needed . Not to
mention , who does Cardy think will be taking care of these kids at
home in the fall when their parents have returned to work . Stay at
home education for kids is a non starter
SarahRose Werner
Reply to @Matt Steele: We agree on this point, Matt. Buying computer
equipment was a way of throwing technology at a problem that was
caused only partly by lack of technology. The only way learning from
home works is when parents have both the ability and the time to
support children by filling in the gaps in Internet-based learning. It
doesn't work when the parent lacks the ability to do this or when the
parent is busy working - even if they're working from home, let alone
working outside the home.

This might be a good opportunity for teachers to get some training in
adjusting their teaching methods for an online platform and also to
trade information with each other as to what's working, what isn't and
what to do about it.

Reply to @SarahRose Werner: Also be a good time for the internet
providers to fix whatever problems they may have with the network. So
that it will be able to carry the extra loads that will be needed to
provide internet service to the rural communities. Otherwise, Cardy
wasted the money he invested in computer equipment.

returning . Preparation for the fall , under whatever scenario COVID

Vestcor's record bonuses, modest returns again provoke call for review by auditor general
Auditor general should have authority to oversee pension agency, Liberals say
"While Vestcor is not a Crown Corporation, they are responsible for handling the pension fund for Government of New Brunswick employees and therefore need to be held accountable," Rob McKee, the Liberal finance and treasury board critic, said in a statement Monday.
The Moncton Centre MLA was reacting to news Vestcor created a new incentive plan for its employees in 2021 but without fully cancelling the plan it replaces. Instead, both operated simultaneously in 2021, rewarding employees for the same achievements twice in many cases.
The new incentive program was fully functional in 2021 and employees earned $5.9 million in bonuses from its operation.
Bonus from two programs
That was a new bonus record for Vestcor on its own, but employees were then paid another $2.7 million from the old incentive program that is being left partially operational until 2023.
"The exorbitant amounts of bonus pay given to senior employees is a major reason why the Auditor General should have the authority to analyze Vestcor's operations," said McKee's statement.
"As most of what they do is manage the pensions of Government of New Brunswick employees, they are responsible for handling a large sum of taxpayer dollars, which makes transparency and accountability that much more important."

Brunswick Finance Minister Ernie Steeves has no intention of giving the
auditor general authority to review Vestcor operations, his office
said. (Mike Heenan/CBC News file photo)
Vestcor is headquartered in Fredericton and was set up in the 1990s to manage what has become $21 billion in New Brunswick government employee pension and other funds, including about $900 million in N.B. Power nuclear waste and decommissioning funds.
It was originally a Crown agency but was reconfigured, renamed and given its independence in 2016.
It's now jointly owned by the province's two largest public pension plans serving New Brunswick civil servants and teachers.
Although Vestcor is not owned by government, two New Brunswick auditor generals have argued "the significant amount of funds from public sources Vestcor manages" and its "extensive government-entity client base" make its operations a public interest concern.
John
Sinclair, president of Vestcor, told MLAs last September its earnings
tend to lag behind industry averages during rising markets. (Government of New Brunswick)
Most of the bonus payments awarded to Vestcor employees in 2021 were generated by investment returns that exceeded Vestcor's own internal targets but which were otherwise below industry averages, according to at least one measure.
According to Vestcor's annual reports, earnings on the funds it manages have totalled $5.5 billion over the last four years covering 2018 to 2021.
The amount exceeded the organization's benchmark investment targets for the periods by $652 million after covering the organization's expenses. That includes $452 million in returns above Vestcor's benchmarks in 2021 alone.
That's the source of most of the bonus payments — the difference between Vestcor's 2021 investment returns of 9.46 per cent and its overall target in 2021 of 7.23 per cent.

St. The province said Monday that Vestcor is an independent body and
can look after its own affairs. (Joe McDonald/CBC)
"Investment returns relative to our client's investment policy benchmarks reached a record high due to the strong active management performance from each of our four investment teams," Vestcor's annual report said.
But according to data compiled by LifeWorks, a Canadian pension and benefits administrator that monitors the performance of pension managers and which Vestcor has used for comparisons in the past, a 9.46 per cent investment return in 2021 would rank it among the bottom five per cent of results among pension managers with diversified pooled funds.
The median return among funds for the year, according to LifeWorks, was 13.83 per cent.
It is a similar story for Vestcor's four-year annualized return of 7.5 per cent. It is also well above its own benchmark target of 6.52 per cent over those years but below the 8.8 per cent LifeWorks calculates to be the median return of diversified pension funds.
Every one per cent difference in investment returns is worth about $200 million per year to Vestcor's holdings.
In February 2021, then New Brunswick auditor general Kim Adair, formerly Adair-MacPherson, told MLAs her office had an interest in reviewing Vestcor's investment targets and benchmarks to evaluate the difficulty in exceeding them.
"There is a lot of content in their annual report about benchmarks and achieving benchmarks and other targets," said Adair.
"These are the areas if we had the ability to do performance audits we would examine whether the benchmarks are, for example, stretch targets or are they easy to achieve benchmarks."
As
auditor general in 2021, Kim Adair, formerly Adair-MacPherson, said
claims made by Vestcor of strong returns and solid management should be
evaluated independently. (Michel Corriveau/Radio-Canada)
Adair said she was concerned about how bonus payments at Vestcor had been escalating without, in her view, an independent measure of whether the returns being earned justify the payments or are as strong as Vestcor claims relative to industry standards.
"Are they adding the value that they indicate in their public reports?" she asked.
"Essentially there's no third-party independent assessment of this, and they are managing significant New Brunswick public sector funds."
Vestcor president John Sinclair has regularly defended the organization's record of posting lower earnings than industry averages. He said it is byproduct of a conservative, low-risk investment strategy required to manage the province shared-risk pension plans that will show its true worth when markets slump.
Vestcor says its costs are lower
He also contends costs at Vestcor are substantially lower than at other pension management firms, and this makes up for some of the earning shortfalls.
"The idea has been to provide that protection to our members," Sinclair told MLAs last September. "Our pension plans should do better in weaker market environments. But to be able to do that, they're going to probably not do as well in stronger market environments."
New Brunswick Liberals say they would like to see all of those issues evaluated by the Auditor General's Office, but in an email on Monday, the Department of Finance said that won't happen.
"Vestcor is not an agent of the Crown and was established to operate independently of government," wrote Erika Jutras, the department's communications director.
"There is no plan to change the legislation."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Double bonus payments net N.B. pension fund executives record rewards
Vestcor adopted new bonus program in 2021, but delayed cancelling old one
Investment managers and executives with the Fredericton-based firm that oversees New Brunswick government employee pension funds earned a record $8.6 million in bonus pay in 2021 from two incentive programs that operated simultaneously, records show.
The bonuses earned by senior personnel of Vestcor were $3.3 million higher than the previous record amount paid in 2019 and $4.3 million higher than what was paid in 2020.
Much of the increase was generated by the operation of two bonus programs in 2021 that in many cases paid rewards to employees for the same achievements twice.
The size and growth of Vestcor's bonus program is one of the issues New Brunswick's Office of the Auditor General said in 2021 it would like to review with the organization. At the time, Vestcor disputed that it is subject to the auditor general's authority any longer, in what has become an ongoing issue between the two.
"Vestcor's accountability to government, the Legislative Assembly and the public remains a significant concern for our Office," declared a report issued by new Auditor General Paul Martin earlier this year.
"Two of our most significant areas of concern continue to be NB Power's ability to self-sustain its operations and the Auditor General's access to Vestcor."

Vestcor is headquartered in Fredericton and was set up in the 1990s to manage what has become $21 billion in New Brunswick government employee pension and other funds.
It was originally a Crown agency but was reconfigured, renamed and given its independence in 2016.
It's now jointly owned by the province's two largest public pension plans serving New Brunswick civil servants and teachers, but it also oversees the retirement plans of hospital workers, nurses, Crown corporation employees, provincial court judges, MLAs and other groups.
Vestcor also manages other investment accounts, including University of New Brunswick endowment funds, retirement accounts for other organizations like the City of Fredericton and nuclear waste and decommissioning funds for NB Power.
Although Vestcor is not owned by government any longer, two New Brunswick auditor generals have argued "the significant amount of funds from public sources Vestcor manages" as well as its "extensive government-entity client base" make its operations a public interest concern.
Auditors concerned
Vestcor has offered incentive programs to employees for more than two decades. The organization argues bonus pay is standard in the investment industry, helps to recruit and retain quality employees and incentivizes good performance.
In Vestcor's case, bonus payments started out at modest levels but over the years grew significantly, an issue that eventually caught the attention of auditors.
"The Auditor General should have unrestricted access to audit the reasonableness of Vestcor's incentive program," former New Brunswick Auditor General Kim Adair-MacPherson wrote in her report on the matter in early 2021.
"Vestcor has paid over $30 million in employee incentives (bonuses) since 2010 and incentives have increased by almost 500 per cent since 2010. Five senior executives have received almost $19 million in incentives and salary since 2014."
Kim
Adair-MacPherson, New Brunswick's former auditor general, issued a
report in 2021 calling on the province to explicitly give her office the
authority to audit Vestcor. Among other issues, she said the
organization's escalating payments of bonuses to employees should be
reviewed. (Michel Corriveau/Radio-Canada)
In its latest annual report released last week, Vestcor disclosed there had been an internal overhaul of "incentive pay" at the organization that took effect on Jan. 1, 2021 — just before Adair-MacPherson's report — that further boosted bonuses from amounts she was already concerned about.
Vestcor created a new simplified bonus pay structure to replace the previous system and added both enhancements and restrictions.
One new rule requires bonus amounts earned by employees to be paid out over four years, including 50 per cent in the first year and equal amounts in subsequent years with interest accumulating on amounts not immediately paid out.
Promises were also made to employees that the new bonus plan would be as generous as the one it replaced and would produce "outcomes similar to those under the prior program."
Despite that, there was also a decision not to completely end the prior bonus program when the new one took effect. Instead, Vestcor's board of directors voted to keep the most lucrative part of the original bonus system operating alongside the new system for 2021, 2022 and 2023.
New
Brunswick's new auditor general, Paul Martin, renewed calls by his
predecessor for authority to audit Vestcor's operations. In a report in
February, his office called the issue one of its two largest concerns. (Submitted)
"Employees … will continue to be eligible to receive annual payments determined under the previously existing … plan," explained Vestcor in its annual report about the decision to run two bonus systems simultaneously.
"These remaining applicable payments will continue to be subject to Board of Director approval."
Double bonus payments
The result was double bonus payments and record earnings for a select group of Vestcor employees in 2021, including the organization's four most senior executives.
John Sinclair, Vestcor's longtime president and chief executive officer, who received $882,721 in bonus pay in 2019 and $681,412 in 2020 under the old incentive plan, received $1,278,750 in 2021.
About two-thirds of Sinclair's bonus pay, $828,750, was generated by the new bonus system but $450,000 came from the old bonus program that was allowed to operate alongside it.
That pushed Sinclair's total earnings for the year, including his base salary ($375,053) and contributions Vestcor made to his pension account ($115,386) to $1.77 million.
Three other senior executives who had shared just under $1 million in bonus pay in 2020, shared $2.16 million in 2021. Most of that increase came from $766,300 generated from the still active older bonus program that was allowed to run alongside the new program.
Sinclair emailed response
In an email, Sinclair noted an external consultant hired by Vestcor approved the concept of the two bonus programs running at the same time until the "deferral process" of the new bonus plan fully unfolds.
Also, Sinclair said the portion of the old bonus program that is still running was designed to pay amounts based on four-year results and so has a natural lag time built into it.
"The long-term four-year focus, and implied waiting period to receive the applicable payout, provided a strong alignment with long-term client objectives while also providing a strong long-term employee retention motivation," wrote Sinclair. "The wind down … completes the previously initiated four-year cycles."
However, according to Vestcor's annual report, the two bonus programs overlap in significant ways and operating them at the same time has resulted in employees being rewarded twice for the same achievement.
Both, for example, reward employees when investment returns hit levels above targeted amounts over four-year periods.
In 2021, Vestcor reported its funds earned combined returns over four years of 7.5 per cent, 0.98 per cent above the target amount. That triggered substantial rewards for Vestcor employees from both bonus pools.
On that point, Sinclair suggested that is natural given both the "legacy" bonus scheme and new one were designed to reward the same long-term results, "resulting in a strong focus on the importance of four-year client returns."

FINAL MESSAGE FROM PENSION COALITION NB
After 9 years of hard work, in order to defend the interests of retirees from the Public Service of
N.-B. who have been subject to the illegal conversion of their Defined Benefit Pension Plan,
Pension Coalition NB “the Coalition "unfortunately must now close the case.
Despite our efforts to support 2 (two) legal cases over the past 9 (nine) years, namely the
Kennedy case and more recently the Lévesque case, we have faced three formidable legal
teams funded by your taxes, as well as by your pension fund which is now managed by
VESTCOR, a company which was privatized in order to avoid any verification and transparency,
despite the management of 100% public funds.
The Coalition is proud to have been able to expose the Government for being guilty of violating
your rights and infringing on your access to a judicial system, both supposedly dedicated to
enhancing the public interest.
Due to our decision to end our efforts, the Coalition will close shop at the end of April 2022. We
would like to remind you that your contribution to our legal fund is fully tax deductible.
With the recent Court decision by Chief Justice Mme Tracey DeWare, against the Lévesque
case, the Coalition has decided to cover all outstanding legal costs for the Kennedy et al and
Lévesque cases. Then, the remaining funds in the operating account (legal account is empty)
will be used to pay the remaining operating expenses (mail box, telephone, website) and the
balance will be sent to CUPE-NB, as they have assisted in funding the Lévesque case for the
last few years. The Coalition's Summary of the Financial Statements for the period 2013-2022
will be sent to all our members and will be posted on our website www.pensioncoalitionnb.ca
and Facebook page for transparency purposes.
Finally, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support over
all these years. You allowed us to expose this Government and the various union
representatives who signed a memorandum of understanding breaking our Defined Benefit
Pension Plan. They were subsequently appointed as trustees with immunity under the new law
governing the Shared Risk Pension Scheme. Quite a story, isn’t it? The United States faced the
“Watergate“ scandal. Hopefully, we will see the day when the “PensionGate” scandal will be
exposed.
Please let’s stay in touch via our Facebook page “Retired Employees of New Brunswick”,
which will remain functional indefinitely and will be administered by Don Madore. Our website is
functional for the time being and will soon be discontinued.

A CALL FOR COMPROMISE
Created on Thursday, 26 May 2016 20:14
Ari Kaplan May 2016 | Benefits Canada
Employers urged to embrace dialogue as a way to avoid legal pitfalls
of pension innovation
Canada’s workplace pension system is going through a recalibration due
in part to an aging population and demographic shifts, declining
coverage and unpredictable financial markets.
None of these is the fault of employers, unions or pensioners.
One result of the recalibration is the opportunity for pension
stakeholders to innovate workplace pension plans. In the broader
public sector and the area of skilled trades, where both coverage and
concentration are high, there’s an opportunity to address all of the
realities in the pension sphere when it comes to governance, funding,
economies of scale, vested rights and future benefits.
The risks of litigation - Litigation is one way to bring about change
but it’s always uncertain and usually very expensive.
In New Brunswick, the provincial government sought to reduce pension
costs by implementing a new public service plan. The result is three
active lawsuits against the province by employees and pensioners, two
of which allege a breach of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
In another instance, Telecommunications Employees Association of
Manitoba v. Manitoba Telecom Services Inc., the company’s
privatization led to 12 years of litigation on the new pension
arrangement and went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. After
several million dollars in legal fees, the top court ruled on a
question of law and then directed the parties to work out “an
appropriate implementation process that adequately protects the
interests of all of the relevant beneficiaries.”
Within six months, the company, unions and a pensioner group reached a
facilitated resolution, held meetings with affected beneficiaries and
went back to the trial judge, who adopted a settlement binding
everyone. All of that happened within the same calendar year as the
Supreme Court decision.
Finding consensus - There are many benefits to seeking consensual
resolutions to pension issues. And given the public interest in
negotiating solutions aimed at stabilizing pension funding,
governments have rolled out legislation across Canada offering new
templates for renewed deals that leave the stakeholders to work out
the specifics.
Some regulations are time-sensitive. In British Columbia, the end of
2017 is the deadline for certain employers and unions to negotiate
changes to their current pension structures.
While the clock ticks, many in the pension community are debating the
merits of the new templates, such as target-benefit or hybrid pension
plans.
But the fact is that almost any change seeking to stabilize pension
costs involves shifting risk to the beneficiaries. That’s why
employers that want to open a pension contract have to explain clearly
why they need relief and what they can offer instead of contractual
certainty.
For employees, unions and pensioners, the case for a pension trade-off
may not feel immediately obvious, especially when faced with a less
secure deal on benefits.
Process is key - As a result, conversations with members are
particularly important in making the case for pension innovation. That
means changing conventional thinking on the pension deal by loosening
binary positions on the relative merits of the benefit formula and who
backs the guarantee and instead focusing on the process of change.
Legal risks are inherent in any pension change involving a shift of
financial risk. But plan sponsors can mitigate the risks through
meaningful processes leading to informed compromises that respectfully
consider all interests in the plan.
Ari Kaplan is a partner at Koskie Minsky LLP and an adjunct professor
of law at the University of Toronto.

TO HELL WITH THE "WITHOUT PREJUDICE" DISCLAIMER
SUE PETEY BABY IF YOU CAN FIND THE BALLS TO ARGUE A LAYMAN WHO
UNDERSTANDS THE LAW AND WILL NEVER MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL OR THE
CROWN.
Obviously I have no respect for the corrupt old lawyer Petey Baby
Mockler but to give the little Devil his due he is a clever bastard.
Its true that A DEAL IS A DEAL.
http://www.pensioncoalitionnb.
HOWEVER ask any Indian you know about why one should beware of making
any deal with the CROWN.
I read this nonsense by Ari Kaplan today and just had to add my two
bits worth.
http://www.pensioncoalitionnb.
The CROWN tries to call me crazy or frivolous or vexatious but all the
very evil lawyers/politicians/banksters such as Franky Boy McKenna and
everybody else and his dog knows that I have gone to great lengths and
personal expense to prove that Democracy, and Justice are myths in a
dog eat dog world. History had proven to me that if any ethical
whistlerblower or cop or journalist attempted to spill the beans they
were quickly pounded into the ground. So I covered my bases bigtime IN
2001 in my best effort not to make the same mistakes other decent
people made when dealing with corrupt public officials. In that regard
I appear to be a raging success. I am the only whisteblower I know of
to still be free and litigating in the pursuit of justice after so
many years of battling the sustem and running for public office while
most people pretended that I did not exist countless Trolls on the
Internet tried hard to discredit me. Ask the crooks within Wikileaks
or the crooked lawyer Glen Greenwald or the Ministers of Justice in
many other countries if they dare to even say my name before you
disagree with this simple statement.
THAT SAID
FOR THE THE PUBLIC RECORD NONE OF YOUR CLIENTS OBVIOUSLY DO NOT
REPRESENT all 13,700 pensioners affected by the introduction of the
new Shared Risk Pension Plan. B the same token I certainly do not
speak for all the taxpayers paying the lawyers hired by the CROWN to
argue your legal nonsense.
I speak Pro Se and I may intervene in your legal action as is my
right. Also for the record Judge David Smith and I have had one brief
personal converstion. I called him months ago in order to make certain
that he knew who I am and what I am up to. I will deal with Judge
Smith and the lawyers in the Canadian Judicial Council byway his
lawyer Michael Bray from now on and they all know it as well.
For the record I have always looked at Blaine Higgs' sneaky game for
the benefit of his Bankster buddies as evil being evil even unto
itself because it was bureaucrats who were assisting him in screwing
themselves. The truly sick part of it all was their mindless Union
Bosses went along with it for no reason I will ever understand.
This is all so smple to me. Foe instance way back in 2007 before the
economy took a nosedive when the retired Millworkers in Nackawic got
screwed, blued and tattoed by a bunch of crooks. Once you retire, your
employer can’t reduce your retirement benefits and the CROWN should
have made certain of it and prosecuted the crooks. Kirk macDonald and
TJ BUrke and the all rest cannot deny that I said my two bits about
that at the time. MORE IMPOrTANTLY does anyone recall my bitching
about Victor Boudreau's budget in 2009 toppping up the the pension
plan losses on the the Stock market one year after the RCMP had me
illegally locked up in the Looney Bin of the DECH?
Six years later Blaine Higgs begins his song and dance. Yet at the
very same point in time there is a decision involving Lorne Lacey and
Weyerhauser on May 28, 2013. DUHHHH???? The B.C. Court of Appeal
determined that, if employees were told they would have certain
retirement benefits and they worked on that basis, an employer could
not reduce those benefits after they retire. This is because the
retirement benefits were actuallly earned by the employee while they
were working and are a form of deferred compensation. Imagine snobby
judges in BC agreeing with a mean old Maritimer?

N.B. pension management employees score record $5M in bonuses
Province's investments saw 2% gain last year, despite significant declines in global stock markets
The organization handling New Brunswick government pension and other funds awarded its employees a record $5 million in bonuses last year, including $902,438 to its president after the province's investments managed to post a two per cent gain, despite significant declines in global stock markets.
According to its latest annual report, Vestcor posted a 2.08 per cent gain on investments in 2018 — less than the rate of inflation — but significantly better than pension plans across the country, many of which bled money during the year thanks to turbulent stock prices.
Bonuses exceed salary by 200%
Extended to all employees

"Vestcor also invests pension money for the University of New Brunswick and the City of Fredericton and handles hundreds of millions of dollars set aside by NB Power to deal with the eventual decommissioning of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station and its stockpile of nuclear waste."
Oh My My Methinks I should thank CBC for telling me something I did not know N'esy Pas?

This is a project that Blaine Higgs needs to tackle. The returns this find gets is horrible, when compared to the CPP investment returns, and the wage and bonus packages, are beyond crazy.
It is time to clean house at Vestcor.

Perhaps the performance targets are too low? Not every Crown Corp can reward its executives by moving their year end! ;-)
"Vestcor also invests pension money for the University of New Brunswick and the City of Fredericton and handles hundreds of millions of dollars set aside by NB Power to deal with the eventual decommissioning of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station and its stockpile of nuclear waste."
Methinks many a true word is said in jest N'esy Pas?
a salary of 357,000 dollars would certainly be well below par for the course for running a company of this size.

.
David Amos
Does anyone recall Victor Boudreau's budget in 2009?
David Amos
Does anyone recall how Mr Higgs rearranged things in 2013 that have
inspired at least three lawsuits thus far?
Perhaps I should have a long talk with these dudes?

15 August 2014FREDERICTON (GNB) – The provincial government and the New Brunswick Teachers Federation have each appointed four members to the board of trustees for the New Brunswick Teachers’ Pension Plan.
“Members of the Teachers’ Pension Plan can have confidence in this highly qualified board of trustees,” said Finance Minister Blaine Higgs. “The candidates chosen represent a wide-range of skills and experience as recommended by national pension plan governance best practices.”
“The federation trustees and observers were selected by the Executive Committee in June for a five-year term,” said federation co-president Philippe Cyr.
The trustees are responsible for overseeing the investment of the pension funds and the day-to-day administration of the plan. The trustees will follow the requirements of the Teachers’ Pension Plan Act, Pension Benefits Act, the Pension Plan's Funding Policy, Investment Policy and the Plan Text to ensure it is managed in a prudent manner to meet the its objectives.
“The establishment of pension plan trustees represents another important step in the process of reform to the Teachers’ Pension Plan that will ensure a long-term sustainable benefit for teachers,” said federation co-president Peter Fullerton.
The board of trustees will begin work immediately. The eight members are:
