Government urged to drop pension reform plans - T. Easterbrook
Unilateral action
Former employees say they were not consulted about changes to their pensions
By TONY EASTERBROOK Commentary
I'm retired and in receipt of a Public Service Superannuation Plan (PSSA) pension, towards which I had made regular and mandatory contributions throughout my working years.
The New Brunswick government is resolved to break that pension contract, despite its legislated mandate as trustee and guarantor to administer it in the best interests of its beneficiaries, as opposed to superseding that obligation with, in my opinion a short-sighted, and poorly-planned agenda.
A Thank-you to MLA's
The Pension Coalition wishes to thank MLA’s Jack Carr (PC New Maryland – Sunbury West), Craig Leonard (PC Fredericton – Lincoln) and Bill Fraser (L Miramichi – Bay du Vin) for attending the entire 3 hour pension information session in Fredericton April 17th. We appreciate your interest. Also wish to thank other MLAs who were able to attend some of that session (Madeline Dube, Troy Lifford, Danny Soucy).
