The Newfoundland and Labrador Public Sector Pensioners’ Association and the Newfoundland and Labrador Seniors, Pensioners, and Retirees Coalition are expressing grave concern with the impact that the continuing exorbitant escalation in gas and home heating fuel prices is having and will continue to have on the ability of older persons, pensioners, and all retirees to meet the costs of daily living. On a regular basis, there is continuing confirmation from multiple sources of the impact that the overwhelming increases in food prices, other goods, and now fuel costs are doing to vulnerable persons in our community. Older persons are finding it more and more difficult to manage and are being forced to choose between food, medications, transportation and heat just to make ends meet.

On of the most disturbing recommendations in the Premier’s Economic Recovery Team (Greene) Report for us as public sector retirees is the recommendation on page 222 “that pensions be converted to a collective defined contribution plan in three years”.

We encourage you to read this submission, share your support for the Association’s position, and that you speak up and speak out whenever and wherever you can, especially to your local MHA, that this is an unacceptable recommendation and would be an unforgiveable action on the part of the Government. Please click here to read our response. Sharron Callahan Executive Director
