déposent des mémoires juridiques portant sur des questions de droits
humains dans l’espoir d’être choisis pour concourir. Les équipes qui
présentent les meilleurs dossiers sont invitées à concourir en faisant
leurs plaidoiries en contexte de procès fictif et en répondant aux
questions. Trente-six équipes se sont affrontées et les deux meilleures,
soit l’Université St. Thomas et l’Université Oxford sont passées en
finale, où l’Université St. Thomas a eu le dessus sur l’Université
d’Oxford dans un pointage serré de 89,63 à 89,60.
Navy Vezina, membre de l’équipe gagnante de St. Thomas explique
que six étudiants du premier cycle de l’Université St. Thomas se sont
réunis en janvier pour commencer à monter un dossier de participation
au concours de procès fictif en Suisse. Leurs mémoires, déposés en
juin, portaient sur les sujets suivants :
le droit à la vie,
le droit au statut de réfugié,
le droit à la protection contre la discrimination de la part du
gouvernement.
Leur dossier a été retenu, ce qui lui a valu une invitation à participer au
concours en Suisse. Elle indique que l’équipe a affronté l’école de droit
de l’Université Yale en première ronde et, en ronde finale, une équipe
de troisième année de l’Université de Buenos Aires.
Mme
Vezina commente qu’elle ne pourrait pas être plus fière de l’effort
de son équipe et que c’était une expérience incroyable.

Report of Council-in-
Committee
PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON UNIVERSITY AVENUE -
CORRECTION
Moved by Deputy Mayor Kate Rogers, seconded by Councillor
Stephen Chase THAT City Council adopt the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the City of Fredericton
authorizes and directs the legal division to modify the wording of
By-law No. T-1 Section 16.05 subsection (U) subparagraph (vi) to
the following: • on the westerly side of University Avenue between a
point 15 metres south of Shore Street and a point 110 metres north
of Beaverbrook Street between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 11:30
a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, September to
April inclusive.
On the Question:
Deputy Mayor Kate Rogers commented that she realized this was a
correction resolution, but wanted to take the opportunity to encourage
people not to move into the neighbouring streets for parking options
once the parking restrictions are in place on University Avenue. She
noted that the parking restrictions are in place for safety reasons as the
neighbourhood streets near the university are not designed, nor wide
enough to safety accommodate additional parking along the streets.
Deputy Mayor Rogers encouraged people seeking parking, to use the
university parking lots for their parking needs.
The original motion was then put to vote and declared CARRIED

en vigueur dans l’avenue University. Elle fait remarquer que ces
restrictions sont imposées pour des raisons de sécurité étant donné que
les rues du quartier près de l’Université ne sont pas assez larges pour
qu’il soit sécuritaire d’y ajouter du stationnement supplémentaire en
bordure de rue. Mme
Rogers encourage les gens à plutôt utiliser les aires
de stationnement de l'université.

As a result, with respect to Committed Capital for a MercerPrivate Markets Fund the Plan will bear both the Total Management Fee and the Mercer Private Markets FundManagement Fee, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of the Mercer Private Markets Fund Management Feewill not be used to reduce the Total Management Fee. The Client further understands and acknowledges that, atsuch time as the Trust’s Committed Capital is called and invested in the Mercer Private Markets Fund (the “InvestedCapital”), it ceases to be part of the Account, and such Invested Capital shall only be subject to the Mercer PrivateMarkets Fund Management Fee as described in the Mercer Private Markets Fund offering materials. In addition, theClient understands and acknowledges that each Mercer Private Markets Fund has other expenses in addition to theMercer Private Markets Fund Management Fee, including custody and administration costs and management feespayable to third party investment managers to underlying funds in which the Mercer Private Markets Fund mayinvest, that will be borne directly or indirectly by the Trust. Additional information about the fees paid by a MercerPrivate Markets Fund may be found in the Mercer Private Markets Fund’s offering materials.

The Client understands and acknowledges that the Variable Fee will be equal to a perannum rate that is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the Manager'snegotiated fee schedule with a Subadvisor, the amount of assets managed by the Subadvisor forthe Manager and/or its affiliates, and the asset allocation of the Account among the variousinvestment vehicles and among the various Subadvisors. Accordingly, the Client understandsand acknowledges that the Total Management Fee payable for a particular quarter will reflect theactual Sub-advisor fees attributable to the Account’s investment in the Pooled Funds for thatquarter. In no event will the Variable Fee exceed 0.39% (the "Maximum Variable Fee"). If theManager believes that the Variable Fee will exceed the Maximum Variable Fee the parties willreview and renegotiate the Variable Fee in good faith. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extentthe annual Variable Fee is below the Maximum Variable Fee, Client shall receive the full benefitof such lower Variable Fee.
The Client acknowledges that the Estimated Variable Fee is based on the following targetasset allocation for the Account:

- CHFI funding to be sourced using the following funds and proportions:
Schroder Diversified Growth Fund 100%
- PIP capital calls to be sourced using the following funds and proportions:
Schroders Diversified Growth Fund 30%
Mercer Long Bond Fund 30%
Mercer Synthetic 3X Long Bond Fund 40%
- All asset classes are actively managed unless otherwise specified.
- It is understood that since the Mercer Synthetic 3X Long Bond Fund is only traded twice per month, the PIPcapital call funding allocation from the Mercer Synthetic 3X Long Bond Fund may not align with the trade datesfor that fund. As such , the Manager shall have full discretion to instead raise the required cash from Long-TermBonds or any other more liquid fund until the next available trade date for the leveraged long-term bond fund, andthe Manager will subsequently rebalance the Account as deemed necessary at a later date.
- Due to uncertain timing of capital call schedules for PIP and CHFI, actual allocations may deviate from thetarget allocations shown above.
General Fee Terms
The Client acknowledges that the Mercer Fee is based on a minimum aggregate Accountsize of $52 million.
The Total Management Fee shall begin to accrue upon the effective date of thisAgreement, and will be calculated on a quarterly basis in arrears based on the daily market valueof the Account within each quarter. The Client shall pay the Total Management Fee to theManager, and the Manager will pay each Subadvisor out of the Manager's assets, as appropriate.
To the extent the Manager invests assets of the Account in Pooled Funds (includingMercer Funds) that do not have the sub-advisor fee paid out of Pooled Fund assets directly, theManager will pay the applicable sub-advisor fees associated with such Pooled Funds out of theTotal Management Fee received under this Agreement. The Client authorizes investment in suchMercer Funds.
To the extent the Manager invests assets of the Account in Pooled Funds (includingcertain Mercer Funds) that do have the sub-advisor fee paid out of Pooled Fund assets directly,the Manager will reflect such amount in the Variable Fee above, but deduct the amount of anysuch sub-advisor fee already borne by the Client from the Total Management Fee to be paidunder this Agreement.
The Client acknowledges that the Manager or its affiliates may negotiate a fee schedulewith a sub-advisor to a Pooled Fund pursuant to which the fee payable by the Manager to thesub-advisor increases or decreases based on the overall amount of assets managed by the sub-advisor for the Manager or its affiliates, and that, subject to the Maximum Variable Fee, theClient's Total Management Fee will vary in accordance with any such increase or decrease in thesub-advisory fees payable by the Manager.
