2022-04-14

67.3.13. In the event of the withdrawal of an employer that is a party to a target-benefit plan, the statement referred to in section 146.91 of the Act must be sent to each member or beneficiary affected by the withdrawal within 60 days of the date on which the statement referred to in section 200 of the Act is sent. The members and beneficiaries must have at least 30 days to indicate their choices and exercise their options.

The statement must contain, in addition to the information required under section 146.91 of the Act:

(1)  the information referred to in paragraphs 2 to 10 of section 58 and, except if the statement concerns a non-active member for whom a pension is being paid or a beneficiary, in paragraph 1 of that section, determined or updated at the date of withdrawal;

(2)  a mention whether or not it is possible to maintain the member’s or beneficiary’s benefits in the plan;

(3)  the period during which the member’s or beneficiary’s choices must be provided to the pension committee;

(4)  in the case of a member or beneficiary to whom a pension is being paid at the date of withdrawal, the estimate of the annuity that can be purchased from an insurer and a mention that the purchased annuity could differ.

The pension estimate is made based on the premium determined using the assumptions for the hypothetical wind-up and solvency valuations established by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries as they apply at the date on which the statement was prepared. The premium must be increased by a margin that allows for any possible variation in the cost of purchasing the annuity between that date and the probable date of payment.
