What’s New in Pension and Benefits – Summer 2026
Evan Shapiro, WTW and Patrick Simon, OPB | May 29, 2026
Amendments to the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 passed in 2021, and supporting amendments under the Pension Benefits Standards Regulations, 1985, will take effect on January 1, 2027. The Act amendments will permit the administrator of a terminated federally regulated pension plan to transfer to the Bank of Canada assets (including a portion of any plan surplus) relating to the pension benefit credit of unlocated members. The Bank of Canada will then administer the pension assets of those members as the designated entity under the Act. Read about this and other legislative, regulatory and caselaw updates in the summer issue of 'What's New in Pension and Benefits'.
