This ought to be interesting. Is that actual policy anywhere, or just wild accusation on your part?

Well they've started by wanting to reduce cabinet salary (30%) , MLA salaries (5%) and pensions (65%) . Leading by example, as they should.
Then, I would expect they would follow the lead of most multinational companies whereby they initiate a new defined contribution pension and discontinue the outrageous defined benefit programs. Of course, they can follow the lead of the federal Conservatives who are operating on the same principles and also phasing out these expensive and unsustainable pensions that are the hallmark of public union bargaining.
