The Alward Government will not be moving ahead with the shared risk model for provincial government retirees, at least until the fall.
The Pension Coalition is calling that a move in the right direction while discussions continue. The Pension Coalition's Clifford Kennedy tells CHSJ News the retirees are not inflexible.
He says the pensioners understand that changes are required but believe it should be on a go forward basis and should not impact negatively on the retirees.
Coalition Co-Chair Bonny Hoyt Hallett says the retirees feel somewhat positive after their initial discussions with Provincial Finance Minister Blaine Higgs.
