What a surprise eh? The Auditor General of Canada is worried that the Civil Service pension account is UNDERFUNDED.
I think that most of us did not need another civil servant to tell us that. Anyone who has run any sort of business or even a home, knows that budgets are not run along the lines of our dear government. Just because something is agreed to at “The Bargaining Table” does not mean it cannot be renegotiated due to changing forces in the economy, except if it is government. Now we are about to pay the price of all this nonsense.
Canada cannot have every government worker leave work as a millionaire due to early retirement and longevity of life.
As one civil servant friend said to me recently,
” If you had joined the government, then you would be saying nothing”.
I guess I was not smart enough to think of that.
