    I find it hard to believe that theis government while preaching fiscal restraint and making their 150k plus perks per year feel that it is not enough to live on. How have the got the FACE to tell people on a pension making less than 20k per year that it is enough for them to survive on. THEY KNEW THE SALARY WHEN THEY WENT IN AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHANGE IT WITHOUT RAISING EVERYONES PAY RATE BY THE SAME AMOUNT. Afetr all we pay them through our taxes and they propley need the money to pay their electric bills when Muskrat comes online.

    The government is attempting to strip contracts ,so set an example and strip your own benefits first!!!!!! I guess they will still look after each other even after the review while the average worker will suffer as usual . They don't have to struggle trying to pay for food and keep ahead of their bills like most us.
