$631,172,000 as of March 31, 1980.
In the opinion of the actuary, projected statutory employer contributions are
sufficient to amortize fully the above unfunded liability in approximately 30 years
from March 31, 1980, assuming all actuarial assumptions are realised.
Section 42—Cost of living supplements totalling $11,451,709 were charged
to Contributory Pensions Account. After the January 1, 1981 adjustment, quarterly
increases were replaced by annual increases, the first of which will be paid January
1, 1982. The annual increases are tied to the consumer price index and are payable
to the extent that the capitalized value is available in the Inflation Adjustment
Account. For this purpose are allocated to the Inflation Adjustment Account
employee and employer contributions each at the rate of 1.25% of salary and
interest earnings attributable to funds held for the payment of superannuation
allowances in excess of the rate assumed by the actuary.
Comparative, statistical and detail schedules of contributions, refunds and
allowances granted and in force at the year end are attached to this report.
Sections 43, 44, 45 and 46—Death Benefits Fund claims payments totalling
$93,800 and sources of funds therefor are summarized in a schedule attached to this
report.
 PENSION (PUBLIC SERVICE) ACT—ANNUAL REPORT 9
LEGISLATION
The Pension (Public Service) Act was amended at the 1981 session of the
Legislature. The amendment made the investment powers of the Minister of
Finance in respect of the Public Service Superannuation Fund the same as those in
respect of a trust fund under section 36 (2) of the Financial Administration Act.
When proclaimed, this section will have the effect of broadening investment powers
to permit investment in additional types of securities such as are issued by the
Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia, commercial paper of Canadian
corporations, corporate bonds and preferred shares, and first mortgages, subject to
specified conditions as to the security of the investment and the status of the issuer.

PUBLIC SERVICE SUPERANNUATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1981
1. Actuarial Valuation
According to the Pension (Public Service) Act, an actuarial valuation of the assets and liabilities
of the Fund is required to be made by an Actuary at least once in each consecutive period of not more
than five years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at March 31, 1980.
The valuation indicates an increase in the unfunded liability in respect of basic pension benefits
from about $197,563,000 as of March 31. 1977 to about $631,172,000 as of March 31, 1980. The
1977 amount of $197,563,000 would have been stated as $234,295,000 on the current basis since the
actuary has changed his assumptions to include cost-of-living increases in the basic pensions as a
result of the legislative changes which occurred in 1980. These increases were not included in the
liability in previous valuations.
In the opinion of the Actuary, projected statutory employer contributions are sufficient to
amortize fully the above unfunded liability in approximately 30 years from March, 1980, assuming all
actuarial assumptions are realised.
2. Deposits in Treasury
All contributions to the Fund are deposited in the Provincial Treasury and administered by the
Minister of Finance, who has invested available moneys in the various securities listed in Schedule 1.
These investments are carried at the lower of cost and par value, with "cost" defined as acquisition
costs adjusted as follows:
(i) Premiums are written off in the year of acquisition.
(ii) Discounts on single maturity bonds are recognized as income upon redemption,
(iii) Discounts on serial bonds are recognized as income when the final redemption occurs.
Investments held at the end of the year are as follows:
1981 1980
S $
Par Value     955,207.381        739,848,760
Book Value     952,384,223       738,872,075
Market Value    778,070.190       562,560,962
The difference between the book value and market value of the investments has not been provided
for as at March 31,1981, since it is generally expected that Fund investments will be held to maturity.
The net income from these investments is accounted for on a cash basis. Accordingly, accrued
interest receivable at the end of the year has not been recorded in these financial statements.
3. Urban Passenger Transportation Employees
As of April 1,1980, urban transportation services were transferred from British Columbia Hydro
and Power Authority to Metro Transit Operating Company.
The pension rights of approximately 3,000 employees, including appropriate pension funds, are
to be transferred from the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority Pension Fund to the Public
Service Superannuation Fund. This transfer had not been finalized and thus no recognition of the
transfer of fund assets has been made in the accompanying statement of financial position as at March
31, 1981.
4. Legislative Changes
The provisions of the Pension (Public Service) Act related to payment and financing of supplementary allowances were amended at the 1980 session of the Legislature. The significant provisions
were-
(1) An increase of 0.5% of salary in employee and employer contributions.
(2) Annual, rather than quarterly, cost of living supplementary allowances, payable to the
extent that moneys equal to the capitalized value are available in the Inflation Adjustment
Account created for the purpose.
(3) Allocation of employee and employer contributions each amounting to 1.25% of salary to
the Inflation Adjustment Account.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31,1981 —Continued
5. Additional Information
The Fund balance is divided into an Inflation Adjustment Account, to which employee and
employer contributions each at the rate of 1.25% of salary are credited, and a Basic Account, to which
all other contributions are credited. The Fund balance for the year ended March 31, 1980 has been
restated accordingly.
These financial statements show only the position of the Fund as at March 31, 1981 and the
changes in Fund balance for the year then ended and do not purport to show the adequacy of the Fund to
meet the obligations of the superannuation plan.
