For SNC-Lavalin, 2017 was a pivotal year. The Atkins acquisition enabled us to deepen our service and technological capabilities, expand our global footprint and add 18,000 people to our workforce. We have overhauled our senior management team and our Board of Directors, and built one of the industry’s most robust ethics and compliance programs. We have reshaped our organization’s focus, along six lines of business in which we can be among the world’s very best. This Canadian champion is now geared for global growth. It is a great honour for me to take on the role of Chairman of SNC-Lavalin. Your Board is a renewed one, where the average tenure of directors is less than three years and this is matched by only five others among the top 100 Canadian companies. Your Board is also diverse, in both experience and gender, with 27% of our corporate directors now women. This gives us greater gender diversity than many Canadian boards, and puts us ahead of our 2018 gender diversity target of 20%, providing strength and expertise to the Board. Strong governance and accountability matter. They will be our hallmarks as we build a top global engineering firm that is rooted in Canada. We are moving beyond the legacy issues of the past, settling with Quebec’s public bodies through the Voluntary Reimbursement Program in 2017. We welcome the Government of Canada’s public consultation process on a Deferred Prosecution framework as part of modernizing the Canadian environment for doing business. To build a globally successful Canadian engineering champion, the playing field must be level. Deferred prosecution agreements, or similar accountability mechanisms, have enabled global companies, such as Hewlett Packard, Rolls Royce, Siemens and Alstom among others, both to assume their public responsibilities and to move their businesses forward. We look forward to the tabling of Canadian legislation that mirrors what countries with which we trade, such as the U.K., Australia, the U.S. and France, already have in place. With our reshaped sectors orientated toward higher growth and higher margin businesses, SNC-Lavalin is focused on the future. A new corporate vision, based on core values of Safety, Integrity, Collaboration and Innovation, capture our commitment to being a global leader that builds what matters-ethically, sustainably and innovatively. Being selected as the lead partner of the consortium to build the imaginative REM project in Montreal is very much in line with our new vision. Canada needs corporate champions capable of competing successfully in competitive international markets. Companies that are talent focused, able to attract and keep the next generation of skilled graduates and workers here in Canada. Companies that are innovation focused, constantly striving to be at the leading edge of technological change. Companies that are focused on social responsibility, investing in sustainability, governance and civil society partners. We live in times of considerable technological disruption and geopolitical turbulence, creating new opportunities and presenting new challenges. Canadian firms have to be globally competitive to be successful, at home as well as abroad. That is our vision for SNC-Lavalin. All of us on the Board are committed to helping this renewed and reinvigorated Canadian company achieve its potential, creating good jobs, strong revenue growth and healthy shareholder returns in the process. In closing, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to express our deep appreciation to Mr. Larry Stevenson, who retired from the Board as the Chairman and a Director at the end of 2017. He served SNC-Lavalin very well for many years and is richly deserving of our thanks. As well, I want to express our appreciation to our CEO, Neil Bruce, to the management team and to all employees of SNC-Lavalin for their commitment to the Company and its future. Yours truly, Kevin G. Lynch (signed) Chairman SNC-Lavalin 2018 Management Proxy Circular 3 Notice of 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Notice of Availability of Meeting Materials To the shareholders of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.

    13 March 2003 Mr. Alex Himelfarb Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A3 Bernard A. Courtois Executive Counsel Dear Mr. Himelfarb: BCE & Bell Canada Subject: Canada Gazette – Notice No. DGTP-001-03 Petition to the Governor in Council from Quebecor Média inc. under Section 12 of the Telecommunications Act in regard to the following CRTC Decision: Quebecor Média inc. – Alleged anti-competitive cross-subsidization of Bell ExpressVu, Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 These comments are filed on behalf of BCE Inc. and Bell Canada in response to the petition by Quebecor Média inc. (“Quebecor”) to the Governor in Council regarding Telecom Decision CRTC 2002-61 (“the Decision”). In its application of 4 April 2002, filed with the CRTC pursuant to Part VII of the CRTC Telecommunications Rules of Procedure, Quebecor alleged that BCE has been using profits generated by Bell Canada to anti-competitively cross-subsidize the entry of Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership (“ExpressVu”) into the Quebec broadcasting distribution market. Quebecor argued that mechanisms put in place by the Commission to prevent cross-subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada be activated in order to prevent Bell Canada, the dominant player in local telephone service, from becoming the dominant broadcasting distribution undertaking (“BDU”). In its Decision of 8 October 2002, the Commission found that Bell Canada was not, in fact, inappropriately cross-subsidizing ExpressVu, and furthermore, that ExpressVu was not the dominant BDU that Quebecor warned about: [T]he Commission remains of the view that the existing mechanisms, including those recently modified in Decision 2002- 34, are appropriate and sufficient to prevent inappropriate cross- subsidization of ExpressVu by Bell Canada, at the expense of users of telecommunications services.

    REDUCING POVERTY 1952-1967 Summary

    REDUCING POVERTY 1952-1967 Summary Old Age Security (OAS), the first universal pension for Canadians, was introduced in 1952: · The maximum pension was $40 per month or $480 per year. · The pension was available to Canadians 70 years of age and over who had lived in Canada for at least 20 years. · Status Indians were included. · For the first time, Canadian seniors could receive a pension without undergoing a “means test1 ”. However, retirement still meant a drastically reduced standard of living for many people. There was growing public and political support for a universal, employment-based pension plan that would be portable from job to job. The provinces agreed to another Constitutional amendment to extend federal government powers beyond legislati that applied only to old age. As a result, the contributory Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP)2 were established in 1966: 1 The "Means Test" The "means test" was used to determine a senior's income, or means. The test involved provincial pension authorities calculating all aspects of a senior's income (e.g., pensions, income from boarding house operations, etc.) as well as the value of "perks" they received, such as free room and board. The means test, however, did not take into account how much money a person needed to pay for food, shelter, clothing, fuel, utilities or household supplies. If a senior's annual income, including pensions, was greater than $365, he or she was not eligible for the Old Age Pension. The income each received determined the amount of assistance to which he or she was entitled.

While many studies have cast doubt on this claim, why would a public pension plan be cheaper to administer than a private one? Many factors affect the cost of running a pension plan, but a crucial yet over- looked factor is the regulatory landscape that private pension plan managers must adhere to and the regulations that their public sector counterparts are exempt from. This paper examines the regulatory requirements among various types of public and private pension plans to determine whether private pension plans are at a cost disadvantage with respect to public ones, with a specific focus on the CPP. In short, the paper finds that the CPP—due to its charac- teristics and legal obligations—enjoys a marked cost advantage over other pension plans. First, consider the legal responsibilities of the various plan administra- tors. Broadly speaking, private pension plans are subject to a variety of statu- tory and common law regulations. These require the pension plan admin- istrators to act as fiduciaries.
