A recently reached agreement on Regina’s civic pension plan has cleared another hurdle.
The Pension and Benefits Committee, which represents 21 employee groups, voted unanimously in favour of the deal Wednesday night.
Earlier this week, city council unanimously endorsed the agreement, which will now be submitted to the provincial superintendent of pensions for review.
In July, the superintendent warned the plan, which carries an estimated deficit of $290 million, could be cancelled if a deal isn’t reached between the two sides.
The superintendent has been asked to extend the Nov. 30 deadline for filing submissions to Dec. 5 so that the joint proposal can be submitted.
