FSRA looking for pension advisory committee members

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) is seeking members for four new standing technical advisory committees that will study challenges facing the pension space.

Each committee will focus on one of four pension plans: defined benefit single-employer plans, defined contribution plans, multi-employer plans and public sector plans.

The committees will advise the FSRA on proposed regulatory guidance regarding pensions and identify issues with existing legislation.

In a release, the FSRA said it would select committee members “based on their pension knowledge, areas of expertise and level of experience,” adding that each committee would have representation from unions, plan members and retirees.

Committee members will serve two- or three-year terms and will meet at least twice a year. The deadline to apply is Nov. 1, 2019.
