You are in: The Plan : Publications : Employee Booklet : About Your MTS Pension Plan   About Your MTS Pension Plan Your MTS Pension Plan was established to provide pension benefits to the eligible current and former employees of Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. (MTS) and its subsidiaries. The Plan is currently open to the employees of MTS, MTS NetCom Inc., MTS Mobility Inc. and MTS Advanced Inc. The MTS Pension Plan was created as of January 1, 1997, pursuant to The Manitoba Telephone System Reorganization and Consequential Amendments Act. Shortly thereafter, MTS made a large contribution to the Plan from assets it had set aside for its pension obligations. A share of the assets of The Civil Service Superannuation Fund (CSSF), as established under The Civil Service Superannuation Act (CSSA), related to MTS employees and retirees was also transferred to the new Plan. As you work through your booklet, you will see that the new MTS Pension Plan has been set up to provide benefits that are equivalent in value to those provided under the CSSA as at January 1, 1997. You will also note that the benefits provided under the two plans aren’t entirely identical. There are some minor differences that result from the requirements of federal pension legislation and Revenue Canada regulations. Copyright 2004. All rights reserved.
