On September 24, 2018, voters in New Brunswick will be heading to the polls to elect a new government. New Brunswick’s government has an important role to play in adapting public policies and systems to the needs of today’s growing seniors population, and in future-proofing our policies and systems for tomorrow’s seniors.

That’s why Federal Retirees is hosting a live, interactive telephone town hall on September 11, 2018 at 11:00 a.m. ADT on the issues that matter most to seniors in New Brunswick. Moderated by Atlantic District Director Léonard Leblanc, this special 1-hour election discussion will include candidates from the Liberal Party, Progressive Conservative Party, Green Party and New Democratic Party. Focused on issues important to New Brunswick seniors, each candidate will be answering questions from our moderator and from the phonelines.

Members of the National Association of Federal Retirees will be automatically invited to participate by phone, but any resident of New Brunswick is welcome to participate.

Did you know... that Marilyn Quinn, Chairperson of the NB Public Service Pension Board‎, in a press release of August 22, 2018 to Benefits Canada - a national pension and benefits publication, made the following statement… "the NB Public Service Pension Board is providing a full cost of living adjustment to almost 38,000 members. It further states that the adjustment of 1.88 percent is based on Canada’s Consumer Price Index”. See press release below.

Did you know…when Dominic Cardy was leader of the NDP, he publicly stated that "a contract is a contract‎".  Now that he is running for the Progressive Conservative party, led by Blaine Higgs the former minister who introduced the Shared Risk Pension Plan and executed an agreement with a few unions to break our pension contract, one has to wonder what position Mr. Cardy is now advocating as he knocks on doors in the riding of Fredericton West-Hanwell.

Saviez-vous que… lorsque Dominic Cardy était chef du NDP, il a dit publiquement "qu' un contrat est un contrat". Maintenant qu' il se presente pour le parti Progressiste ‎Conservateur, avec le chef Blaine Higgs, ancien Ministre du Govt Alward qui a introduit le Régime de Pension à Risque Partage avec l' appui de certains syndicats, il sera interessant de savoir sa nouvelle  posi‎tion sur le sujet.

Quelle position M.Cardy prendra t' il maintenant, qu' il recherche l' appui de l' electorat dans la circonscription de Fredericton West-Hanwell.  Sera t' elle conflictuelle avec son nouveau chef?
