Proposal Number:
11-MOF018
Posting Date:
June 29, 2011
Summary of Proposal:
Ontario is moving forward with Quebec to create rules that will make the pension regulatory environment more efficient and transparent.
The Agreement Respecting Multi-Jurisdictional Pension Plans would establish clear rules on how multi-jurisdictional pension plans (MJPPs) are administered in Ontario and Quebec.
Specifically, the agreement would:
Set out legally how these plans are regulated and clarify issues unique to MJPPs that are not addressed in existing pension statutes;
Clarify the rules that apply to these plans; and
Would allow a single supervisory authority to regulate an MJPP.
The agreement would apply to a pension plan when the plan is registered with the pension regulator of Quebec or Ontario and the pension plan provides benefits to members, or former members, in both provinces.
