Your Pension Coalition at Work - May 25, 2013/Votre Coalition a L Oeuvre - le 25 mai, 2013
*Last week a four member Team met with the Minister of Finance. The meeting is not a negotiation process but rather an attempt to gain some understanding as to why the government has arrived at its position on our pension plan. We stated that we are not convinced the plan is in the magnitude of difficulties presented.
Séance d’information Tracadie-Sheila Information Meeting
Following likely pressure from retirees in the AcadianPeninsula, the government has decided to schedule an information session on their perspective on the PSSA pension plan and it’s conversion to the Shared Risk model. This session is scheduled for May 28 @ 2:00 at Centre Bellefeuille des Chevaliers de Colomb in Tracadie-Sheila. All retirees should be there in mass to ask the tough and yet unanswered questions to the Government. We encourage you to check our website and familiarize yourself with the facts and insist on facts and precise answers.

Discussion Process with Minister Higgs / un processus de discussion avec le Ministre Higgs
Following the meeting that was held some time ago with Premier Alward, please be advised that Pension Coalition NB has started a formal discussion process with Minister Higgs, hoping to clarify many unanswered questions on the Shared Risk Plan. A small working group appointed from the Coalition met with Minister Higgs and his staff yesterday. The Coalition members are Bonny Hoyt-Hallett, co-chair of the Coalition, Cyril Theriault and Brian Durelle, both members of the Technical committee and having many years of pension management experience and Ernest MacKinnon - former Deputy Minister of Treasury Board and first CEO of NBIMC. The Coalition working committee will establish an appropriate timeline to conclude their analysis. The Coalition will inform its membership as soon as appropriate. It should be noted that Minister Higgs did confirm that Legislation will not be introduced in the spring Legislative session.
