Questions you may wish to ask your candidates- Questions Pour Candidats Politique
As we are now in the election campaigning mode we should be prepared to ask questions of candidates that we meet or come to our doors. We need to keep the pension file alive in people's minds. It has been suggested that it is time to raise the profile of our issue again so it does not get buried. Please do what you can. Review the candidates list in your area; approach them; seek definitive answers. Once platforms are available from all parties we will post. Thanks for your support
May we suggest a few key questions you could ask regarding changes made to your pension plan.
