AMENDMENTS TO THE BANK OF CANADA PENSION PLAN (BY-LAW NO. 15)
Whereas pursuant to section 15 of the Bank of Canada Act, the Board of Directors of the Bank has passed a by-law, By-law 15, to establish a pension fund for the benefit of its eligible employees and their dependants;
And whereas the Bank has the authority to amend its by-laws;
It is hereby resolved that the Bank of Canada's Pension Plan, By-law 15, is hereby amended, with effect from the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, by adding the following as Section 16:
"Section 16 — Outsourcing of Retail Debt Operations
16.1 INTRODUCTION
The Bank of Canada has outsourced to EDS Canada Inc. (EDS) the Retail Debt Operations (RDO) while retaining overall responsibility for the retail debt function. Each affected member will cease to accrue credited service under the Plan from the affected member's designated transfer date onward, but will still retain pension benefit rights under the Plan for credited service prior to this date.
For greater certainty, pension benefits will be treated pursuant to Section 30 of the PBSA. Consequently, EDS will be understood to be a successor employer, as described in this section of the PBSA, an affected member will remain an active member of the Plan until the affected member ceases employment with EDS, and service with EDS will be included for purposes of determining entitlement to pension benefits under the Plan.
Pension benefits, pension benefit credits or any other benefits that an affected member may be entitled to will only be payable on the affected member's retirement, or termination of employment with EDS, or the death of the affected member, under the same terms and conditions as if the affected member had terminated service with the Bank of Canada at that time, except as such terms and conditions may be modified or clarified in this Section 16. However, any future amendment to the provisions of Sections 1 to 15 of the Plan after the affected member's designated transfer date, shall not apply to the affected member unless explicitly otherwise indicated in such amendment.
16.2 DEFINITIONS AND APPLICATION
16.2.1 Additional Definitions
For the purpose of this Section 16, the terms "affected member", "designated transfer date", "designated transfer year", "determination date", "determination year", "outsourcing agreement", and "successor employer" are defined as follows:
"affected member" means a member who accepted an employment offer with the successor employer pursuant to the outsourcing agreement.
"designated transfer date" means the date on which the affected member ceases to be an employee of the Bank pursuant to the outsourcing agreement.
"designated transfer year" means the calendar year in which the designated transfer date occurs.
"determination date" means the date on which the affected member retires from the successor employer, terminates employment from the successor employer or dies, whatever occurs first.
"determination year" means the calendar year in which the determination date occurs.
"outsourcing agreement" means the Implementation Agreement between the Bank and the successor employer dated June 26, 2001.
"successor employer" means EDS Canada Inc.
16.2.2 Application
This Section 16 applies only to affected members. Except as amended by this Section 16, all other provisions in Sections 1 to 15 apply to the affected members, mutatis mutandis. In the event of any inconsistency between any of the provisions in Sections 1 to 15 and the provisions in this Section 16, the provisions in this Section 16 shall prevail.
16.3 MODIFICATIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS OF EXISTING PROVISIONS
With respect to affected members, the following provisions of the Plan shall be modified or clarified as follows:
16.3.1 General Modifications
Any reference in Sections 1 to 15 to the term "termination of employment" or "termination of employment with the Bank", or words of similar effect, shall be replaced by "termination of employment with the successor employer". Similarly, any reference to the term "employment by the Bank" or words of similar effect shall be replaced by "employment by the Bank and the successor employer", and any reference to the term "member terminates employment" or "member terminates employment with the Bank", or words of similar effect, shall be replaced by "member terminates employment with the successor employer".

16.3.2 Subsection 1.1 — Definitions
"active member" means an affected member who has not retired, terminated employment with the successor employer, or died.
"average YMPE" means the average of the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings for the designated transfer year and each of the four preceding calendar years. Such average YMPE shall be increased by the same increase factor as determined in the proviso in the definition of average salary.
"average salary" means
(a) one-fifth of the aggregate of an affected member's full-time salary for any continuous five year period of membership in the Plan ceasing on, or prior to, the designated transfer date, or
(b) if an affected member has been a member for less than a continuous five year period on the designated transfer date, the average full-time salary for the period of membership in the Plan ceasing on the designated transfer date.
Provided that such average salary will be increased by an increase factor as follows:
(c) if the designated transfer year is the same year as the determination year, the increase factor is equal to the percentage increase, if any, in the pension index for the designated transfer year over the pension index for the year preceding the designated transfer year, multiplied by the ratio obtained by dividing the number of days between the designated transfer date and the determination date by 365.
(d) if the designated transfer year is not the same year as the determination year, the increase factor is equal to the product of (1+A) × (1+B) × (1+C) minus 1,
where

Pensionable service shall include an affected member's employment with the successor employer for purposes of determining the affected member's entitlement to a pension benefit, including the determination of pensionable age.

16.3.4 Subsection 1.3 — Credited Service
Credited service shall exclude an affected member's employment with the successor employer.
16.3.5 Subsection 3.2 — Member Required Contributions
(a) 3.2.1 Current Service
An affected member is not required nor permitted to contribute to the Plan on and after the affected member's designated transfer date.
(b) 3.2.2 Past Service

service shall continue to make the past service contributions in
the manner previously determined, prior to the designated transfer
date, by the Administrator;
(ii) After the affected member's designated transfer
date, an affected member is not permitted to
