Pension Plan GovernanceThe Board of Governors (the “Board”) is the administrator of the pension plan and is ultimately responsible for all aspects of the management and administration of the plan and its related assets. To provide oversight and management of the plan, the Board has established a Pension Governance Structure that delegates certain powers with respect to the administration of the plan to committees of the Board and authorized officers.

The Pension Fund Investment Committee (the “PFIC”) is an expert committee that oversees pension plan investments on behalf of the Board. Key oversight responsibilities include monitoring compliance with asset mix policy and external investment manager guidelines, and achievement of performance objectives. The PFIC establishes strategic investment priorities, assesses investment and risk management initiatives, and makes recommendations to the Board on the Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures.

PFIC membership is comprised of external representatives, investment industry executives, members of the Board and senior management team, and academic staff. Details on the PFIC mandate and current committee membership are provided in the appendices.

The Pension Plan Committee (the “PPC”) was established to oversee all aspects of pension plan administration on behalf of the Board. Key aspects of this role include monitoring compliance with investment and administrative policies, monitoring fees and expenses charged to the plan, and recommending an annual budget for fees and expenses. The PPC also monitors pension plan funding and recommends to the Board on the actuarial valuation.

The PPC is chaired by a member of the Board and membership is comprised of senior management representatives, academic staff, administrative staff, and retirees. Details on the PPC mandate and current committee membership are provided in the appendices.

Pension Plan ManagementThe University employs professional investment staff led by the Treasurer/Director Pension Fund (the “Director”). The Director is the principal staff resource for the Board and committees and provides advice and recommendations to the PFIC on all investment matters. The Director is responsible for ensuring that pension plan assets are invested and managed in a manner that is consistent with meeting the University’s obligations to current and future retirees.

Key responsibilities of the investment staff include oversight of external investment managers and the custodian, strategy implementation, operational management, liaising with consultants and industry service providers, and reporting to the committees. Manager oversight includes assessing qualitative and quantitative factors to evaluate the team of professionals, strategy execution, adherence to philosophy and style, performance versus objectives, compliance, and firm specific issues.

The Associate Vice-President Human Resources Service (the “Associate Vice-President”) oversees pension benefit administration. This includes ensuring compliance with the pension plan bylaws and regulatory filing requirements, management of pension and membership data, record maintenance, oversight of pension benefit payments, and plan member communications. The Associate Vice-President liaises with the pension plan actuary, external benefit service providers, and representatives of the various employee groups.

Pension benefit administration functions are carried out by the staff in the Human Resources Service Pension Sector. Key responsibilities include processing plan member entitlements and managing all administrative requirements. The Pension Sector is also the central point of communications for pension plan members, provides training and information sessions, and advises employees regarding retirement options. Other duties include submission of all annual regulatory filing requirements.

Benefit SecurityThe University of Ottawa Retirement Pension Plan (1965) is a contributory defined benefit plan. A defined benefit plan means that retired, deferred retirements and active plan members are guaranteed retirement benefits by the employer. Ontario pension plans are supervised by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (“FSCO”) and retired plan members’ benefits are fully protected under existing legislation. Defined benefit pension plans cannot be amended to reduce accrued pension benefits or indexation that is guaranteed under the plan provisions.

The employer is responsible for funding the pension plan and employer contributions must comply with pension legislation and actuarial standards. Further, pension plan assets must be held in a trust fund that is separate from the assets of the employer. Therefore the assets of the pension plan cannot be used to cover employer operating costs and cannot be seized by an employer’s creditors.

Pension Plan InformationFor the University’s pension plan, normal retirement age is 65, with options for both early retirement and deferred retirement. Retirement benefits are based on years of pensionable service and the best 60 months of salaries at retirement and are adjusted thereafter to reflect some or all of the increases in the Consumer Price Index (the “CPI”).

If an active plan member leaves the University, the plan member may elect to transfer the commuted value of the pension benefits already earned, or leave his or her earned benefits in the plan. Earned benefits left in the plan are called deferred pensions.

The pension plan benefits described above do not include benefits that may be provided to employees under the supplemental plan. The supplemental plan was created through the pension reform process; service is recognized until December 2007.

Active employees contribute at the rate of 4.25% for salaries up to a value that is adjusted annually in proportion to the Yearly Maximum Pensionable Earnings (the “YMPE”), as defined in the pension plan by-laws. For salaries above that amount, employees contribute 6.55% of salary.

The employer’s contribution rate for 2008 is 12.52%; this rate is determined by the most recent actuarial valuation filed with regulatory authorities, which is the valuation effective January 1, 2008. For registered pension plans, actuarial valuations must be filed at least once every three years.

The employee contributions for 2008 provided below reflect the final two months of a seven month contribution holiday that commenced in the previous year. There was no employer contribution holiday for 2008, the employer completed a seven month contribution holiday in 2007.

Benefits for Retired MembersThe pension plan benefits are established in the plan text, which provides for automatic annual indexation of pensions according to the following formula:• If CPI is less than 2% CPI• If CPI is between 2% and 3% 2%• If CPI is greater than 3% CPI – 1%• If sufficient investment gains 100% CPI

On January 1, 2008, pensioners received a 2.50% automatic increase in compliance with the formula described above. All indexation of retiree benefits eligible under the plan text has been granted up to January 1, 2008.

On January 1, 2009, pensioners received a 2.00% automatic increase in compliance with the formula described above. As at January 1, 2009 there is an additional 0.50% CPI increase that does not fall under the automatic formula and cannot be granted because the pension plan does not meet the required financial tests at this time.

Actuarial Valuation The most recent actuarial valuation that was filed with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and FSCO was effective January 1, 2008 and filed in July 2008 showing a net surplus of $126,773,000 on a funding basis. Due to the net surplus on a funding basis there are no special payments required by the University. The level of employer contributions and financial position of the pension plan are determined by the actuarial valuation. Since an actuarial valuation must be filed with the regulatory authorities on a triennial basis, the next required filing is due as at January 1, 2011.

Negotiations are underway between the University and its employee groups to finalize amendments to the plan text.

Global Financial Crisis The crisis in global financial markets during 2008 started with the credit market crisis in the previous year that was triggered when the US housing market went into a downturn, mortgage defaults accelerated and financial institutions and hedge funds had to reduce leverage. This led to business and hedge fund failures and with the addition of an economic downturn, the situation accelerated into one of the most challenging economic and capital market environments in decades.

Long-term investors with exposure to global financial markets were impacted by this crisis and the primary factor was unrealized capital losses. The University’s pension plan did not incur any direct losses from the credit market crisis because it did not hold non-bank sponsored commercial paper or other defaulting securities. The investment portfolios are managed by professional firms and none of the firms that the University does business with in this area have failed or are in financial difficulty.

Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures The Statement of Investment Policies and Procedures (the “SIPP”) provides the objectives, guidelines, and procedures to manage the assets of the pension plan. Investment objectives and risk tolerance are reflected in the asset mix, strategic ranges for asset classes, and diversification policies.

Differences between policy and actual asset mix are expected due to market value fluctuations; the asset mix is in compliance with SIPP guidelines. Asset mix at December 31, 2008:

A portion of the foreign currency exposure is hedged. Hedging is intended to reduce risk by reducing the volatility from the pension plan’s holdings of foreign currency denominated investments through use of currency futures and forward contracts.

The real return asset component includes real return bonds that are held for long term inflation protection and real estate. Funding of real estate commitments commenced in early 2008 and is a key long-term strategy to meet the real return objective established in the SIPP.

Investment risk exposures largely arise from market risk that is comprised of price, currency and interest rate risks, credit risk and liquidity risk. Complete details of the investment risk exposures as at December 31, 2008 and steps taken to mitigate these risks are provided in the audited financial statements and accompanying notes.

Investment PerformanceInvestment performance is evaluated against a benchmark that is comprised of a combination of market indices. Total fund return for periods ending December 31 compared to benchmark:

In addition to benchmark comparisons, long-term performance objectives established in the SIPP include a real return objective that is intended to meet the actuarial requirement to fund pension benefits. The global financial market crisis resulted in negative returns severe enough to impact long-term performance. Therefore at December 31, 2008 the real return objective was not met. 1 Year 4 Years 10 YearsTotal Fund Return -16.4% 2.1% 4.6%Benchmark Return -13.6% 2.6% 4.6%Value Added -2.8% -0.5% 0.1%

SIPP 10-year Objective 4.25%Objective Met? No

The PFIC establishes long-term investment strategies and evaluates the total fund return compared to established performance objectives. Due to the long-term nature of the investment strategies, periods of extreme market volatility such as what occurred during 2008 may result in a divergence between investment results and performance objectives. The PFIC does not react to short term market factors and consistently applies its long-term strategies.

Primary factors that impacted 2008 performance versus objectives were Canadian dollar weakness and a shortfall in meeting objectives established for the real return assets component of the asset mix. Real return assets were impacted by negative markets. In addition, the real estate strategy is in the portfolio building stage and it will require years to validate its success.

Individual investment managers have separate performance objectives that are tailored according to the unique aspects of their investment mandate. Investment manager performance is monitored on an ongoing basis and appropriate actions are taken to address any shortfall in meeting performance objectives.

Market Value of AssetsRBC Dexia Investor Services Trust, the trustee/custodian, holds the pension plan assets in trust. As at December 31, 2008, the market value of assets held by the trustee/custodian was $1,033 million (December 31, 2007 - $1,259 million).

2. Monitor any proposed plan benefit modifications and advise the Board or one of its committees with respect to these modifications and on any other matters on which the PPC has been asked by the Board or one of its committees to advise.

3. Monitor member communications so as to ensure an appropriate dissemination of Plan matters to the Plan members through the Director, Human Resources, as required.

4. Monitor the funding of the Plan, at least annually, and comment as appropriate. In order to fulfill this function, the PPC will receive the Plan’s audited financial statements and the actuarial reports. The PPC will also receive the reports of the Pension Fund Investment Committee to the Board of Governors.

5. Monitor compliance with legislation through receipt of copies of legislated reports/filings and of annual compliance reports from each of the Director, Pension Fund and the Director, Human Resources.

6. Interpret, when required, any matters relating to the Plan bylaws, the methods to be employed for the calculation of benefits and the determination of a right to a benefit.

With respect to the SIPP, the PPC will review and comment on the SIPP prior to any recommendation by the PFIC to the Board. If there are differences between the PPC and the PFIC after the PFIC has provided a response to the PPC on its comments and recommendations, a meeting between the PPC and the Chair of the PFIC will take place if requested. On those parts of the SIPP where there is still a disagreement following such a meeting, the PPC will make its own recommendation to the Board of Governors.

The PPC shall report to the Board at least annually or more often as requested, on relevant pension issues within its mandate.
