Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the committee for allowing us to get our point across. We will keep it very brief.

I've been with ACPM since 2012. I spent the last 30 years in national senior management in the charitable and private sectors.

We are a politically neutral, non-profit national organization. Our membership contains many of the largest DB plans in Canada. Our private and public sector members together manage plans totalling trillions of dollars, with millions of plan members.

I would like to introduce my volunteer colleagues.

Ross Dunlop is the executive vice-president of Ellement Consulting Group. Ross is a pension actuary and investment consultant who has, for over 30 years, provided advice to pension plan sponsors and trustees. He has experience in winding up pension plans, pension plan provision design, investment strategy design, and assisting clients in hiring and terminating investment managers. He is the past president of ACPM and has been an ACPM board member for over 10 years.

Andrea Boctor is a partner and the national chair of the pension and benefits group at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLB. She has practised pension and benefit law for the past 20 years. Her practice has included all types of stakeholders, such as debtors, creditors, monitors, receivers and plan windup administrators appointed by pension regulators. She has taught pension law at Queen's University and pension insolvency law at the University of Toronto and Osgoode Professional Development. She is a past chair and current member of the ACPM federal council, which deals with federally regulated plans.

I would now like to turn it over to Ross Dunlop.
