CIPP presents to Ford Government OMERS governance review

The provincial Conservative government appointed Robert Poirier, a special advisor, to review the governance of OMERS, your pension plan.

CIPP has had serious concerns about governance at OMERS for several years. We have drawn attention to the relationship between governance and accountability at OMERS and the pension plans’ performance and results.

Since 2018, CIPP members have raised their voices to oppose initiatives by OMERS that undermine their retirement security and to draw attention to the poor performance of the plan.

CIPP Executive Director Peter Bleyer recently met with the special advisor appointed by the Ford government and followed up with correspondence to outline CIPP’s concerns and put forward recommendations related to Poirier’s mandate. 

We will monitor developments from this process closely and continue to work with other labour stakeholders at OMERS to advocate for your best interests and to defend your well-earned retirement future.
