1 NEWS & VIEWS IN THIS ISSUE 1 Update: CRA Interpretation of Bill C 13 s Impact to Benefit Trusts 3 Market Indices 4 Tracking the Funded Status of Pension Plans 5 Impact on Pension Expense under International Accounting 6 About Us Update: Bill C 13 Impact on Benefit Trusts On December 15, 2011, Bill C-13 received Royal Assent. This bill requires that self insured employer funded wage loss replacement plans deduct Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions from benefits. This legislative change is related to the reversal of an earlier Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) ruling regarding the Toronto Transit Commission/Revenue Canada case and a clarification of language surrounding pensionable earnings with respect to CPP. Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) premiums, insured disability programs, salary continuance/sick bank arrangements, and non-taxable ASO disability programs are not affected by Bill C-13. The March and April 2012 editions of News & Views noted a lack of clarity in the application of Bill C-13 to benefit trusts. Particularly for multi-employer plans, where plan members may be employed by several employers, practical application of the legislation and remittance of CPP contributions would be very complex. If the trust is deemed to be the employer, there may be additional costs to the fund as it would be required to remit CPP contributions. On behalf of several plan sponsors, the Multi-Employer Benefit Plan Council of Canada requested clarity from the CRA as to whether the new legislation applies to benefit trusts. The CRA has confirmed that disability benefits would require CPP contributions only if the employer: zfunded any part of the plan; and zexercised a degree of control over the terms of the plan; and zdetermined the eligibility for benefits Morneau Shepell September 2012 Volume 9, issue 9 1 of 6
2 In general, multi employer plans would not satisfy all three conditions. While employers typically fund part or all of the plan, they normally do not have control over the terms of the plan nor determine benefit eligibility. Given this, the initial interpretation that benefit trusts will not be subject to the application of Bill C 13, assuming they do not satisfy all of the above criteria, remains correct. Please note that CRA s interpretation was made on benefit trusts in general and direct guidance regarding a particular plan can be made only after reviewing the specific details of the given plan Morneau Shepell September 2012 Volume 9, issue 9 2 of 6

4 As at August 31, 2012 Tracking the Funded Status of Pension Plans This graph shows the changes in the financial position of a typical defined benefit plan since December 31, For this illustration, assets and liabilities of the plan were each arbitrarily set at $100 million as at December 31, The graph shows the impact of past returns on plan assets and the effect of interest rate changes on solvency liabilities The Evolution of the Financial Situation of Pension Plans since December 31, 2007 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q Assets ($M) Solvency Liabilities ($M) Assets and liabilities rose in tandem in August Assets increased due to positive returns in Canadian equity markets and in international equity. However, solvency liabilities increased as well. The solvency deficit (the difference between assets and solvency liabilities) remained somewhat stable. By the end of August 2012, the solvency deficit had risen slightly to $46.3 million, up from $46.2 million in July Since the beginning of the year, the funded status of this typical pension plan has deteriorated. The deficit has increased by $8.4 million (a 22.0% increase). Please contact your Morneau Shepell consultant for a customized analysis of your pension plan.

No consideration has been made for contributions paid into the plan or for benefits paid out of the plan. 2. Solvency liabilities are projected using the rates prescribed by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries for the purpose of determining pension commuted values. Early application of the 2009 standards is not reflected. 3. The underlying typical defined benefit plan is a final average plan with no pension indexing. 4. Solvency liability calculations take into account revised CIA guidance on the solvency valuation assumptions (annuity proxy). 5. Assets are shown at full market value. Returns on assets are based on those of the Morneau Shepell benchmark portfolio (55% equities and 45% fixed income) Morneau Shepell September 2012 Volume 9, issue 9 4 of 6
5 As at August 31, 2012 Impact on Pension Expense under International Accounting Every year, companies must establish an expense for their defined benefit pension plans. The following graph shows the expense impact for a typical pension plan that starts the year at an arbitrary value of 100 (expense index). The expense is influenced by changes in the discount rate based on high quality corporate and provincial (adjusted) bonds 1 and the median return of pension fund assets Expense Index from December 31, 2011 Contributory plan (In %) Discount rate Return on assets (55% equities) n/a , The pension expense has increased since last month and since the beginning of the year largely due to the decrease in the discount rate. The table below shows the discount rates for varying durations and the change since the beginning of the year. A plan s duration generally varies between 10 (mature plan) and 20 (young plan). Discount rate Non-contributory plan Please contact your Morneau Shepell consultant for a customized analysis of your pension plan. Comments: 1. The discount rates shown reflect the educational note published by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries entitled Accounting Discount Rate Assumption for Pension and Post-employment Benefit Plans (September 2011). 2. The expense is established as at December 31, 2011, based on the average financial position of the pension plans used in our 2011 Survey of Economic Assumptions in Accounting for Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits report (i.e. a ratio of assets to obligation value of 85% as at December 31, 2010). Also, we are assuming that, under the international accounting, the employer elected the exemption at transition with regards to past gains and losses, and that future gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (excluded from expenses shown). 3. The return on assets corresponds to the return on the Morneau Shepell benchmark portfolio (55% equities and 45% fixed income). 4. The actuarial obligation is that of a final average earnings plan, without indexing (two scenarios: with and without employee contributions).
