Rockwell Automation Canada Inc.

On February 20, 2006, the FST issued a decision affirming the Superintendent's March 1999 consent to an asset transfer from the Pension Plan for the Salaried and Management Employees of Reliance Electric Ltd. (the "Reliance Plan") to the Revised Retirement Plan for the Employees of the Allen-Bradley Division of Rockwell International of Canada (now the Pension Plan for Employees of Rockwell Automation Canada Inc.).  The FST held that it was not a breach of trust to merge the two plans and that the terms of the Reliance Plan expressly permitted a merger.  A Notice of Appeal has been filed with the Divisional Court with respect to this decision by Michael Lennon, on behalf of the members of the Reliance Plan.
