Welcome. In our efforts to repre-
sent and protect the interests of our
members and others serving, the
AFP/AAC has noted the comments
made, and steps possibly taken, by
our government to clear the way for
changes in how our pension plans
are calculated, contributed to, and
paid.
We’re taking these apparent
steps seriously, and have joined with
other groups to try to intercede, be-
fore changes are made. In this
newsletter, and those following,
we’ll be including reports and infor-
mation to keep you updated on the
activities of government and these
groups, which have joined to form
the Canadian Coalition for Retire-
ment Security. Please read carefully
about these activities, as they’re
likely to affect you directly in the fu-
ture.
We’ve also joined the Surviving
Spouses Pension Fairness Coalition,
in an effort to ensure equality and
fairness in all Veterans’ marriages –
specifically regarding the Marriage
after 60 and the Marriage after Re-
tirement legislations. More about the
SSPFC, our goals, and our plan of
action can be found in this newsletter
and following issues.
