Local Authorities Pension Plan Cost of Living
SENIORS UNITED NOW LOCAL AUTHORITIES PENSION PLAN COST OF LIVING ADVOCACY PROJECT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE: Alberta pensioners annual cost of living adjustment is currently based on only 60% of the Canadian consumer price index. For the average government pensioner this calculated to a 0.96% increase, which in dollars amounts to about a $10.00 monthly increase, resulting in a further fall behind of the real inflation rate. The Alberta Provincial Government promised cost of living adjustments to be comparable to the C.P.I. but continues to break this promise. A recent press release from the Local Authorities Pension Plan indicates the total elimination of the Cost of Living Adjustment! COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT STANDARDS SET BY OTHER PROVINCES: Following is a summary, obtained from Google, which outlines the COLA adjustment standards implemented by other Provincial Governments; British Columbia, over the last 25 years (except for one year) has provided COLA adjustments which provides increases at 100% of the Canadian Consumer Price Index. Manitoba, COLA is based on 2/3 of the C.P.I. Ontario, appears to be 100% of the C.P.I. Quebec, pensioners over the age of 65 receive 100% of the C.P.I. Newfoundland/Labrador, COLA is adjusted October of each year to 60% of the C.P.I. New Brunswick, has a “Shared Risk Pension Model”, as pension returns increase the higher the COLA is adjusted. Nova Scotia, if superannuation fund is insufficient , the Minister of Finance shall pay the shortfall out of General Revenue. Year 2011 to 2015 COLA is indexed at 1.25%. -

Naughty and Nice to Taxpayers List’ 2013
‘Naughty and Nice to Taxpayers List’ 2013 Naughty Alison Redford: Premier Redford flies around the world more than Santa Claus and gives out more free gifts paid for by debt than the big man in red could ever hope to, using mere elves. Total expense: $82,872 Notable airfare expense claims: o $7,875 to New Brunswick o $6,092 to Chicago o $5,927 to Toronto Notable hotel expense claims: o $876/night in Washington (x2) o $772/night in New York (x3) o $635/night in Toronto (x2) o $649/night in Ottawa (x2) Notable meal & hospitality claims o $22 coffees in Washington o $31 hamburger in Washington Doug Horner: Government debt is sort of like making the kids pay Santa for mom and dad’s presents. Since Doug is leaving behind debt for the little ones, Santa is likely to leave behind a lump of coal for him this year. Large debt and deficit; Even the Auditor General can’t figure out how to make sense out of his books; Initially banning the CTF from the budget lockup. Thomas Lukaszuk: Less naughty than last year, but Minister Lukaszuk sure does love flying to Calgary any chance that the can get. No driving for him. He even managed to find an excuse to be in Calgary on ‘government business’ for five days during Stampede. The last time Santa spent five days at Stampede, the elves fell behind on Cabbage Patch Kids and Mrs. Claus made him sleep on the couch for a week. Add to this his threat to raise beer taxes, and he really had no chance of making the Nice List this year. -

The diverse set of exhibitors included everything from library systems, cellular services and census options to wetland conservation and auto parts. Many exhibitors brought in equipment for attendees to see firsthand including graders, tires, street sweepers and traffic signs. Every year the Trade Show is a great opportunity for AAMDC members to see the products they are purchasing up close and this year was no different. As the Trade Show came to a close, members and suppliers were invited to the AAMDC Aggregated Business Services Open House sponsored by Fortis Alberta to meet and engage with Aggregated Business Services staff members. Mike Pashak from Fortis Alberta was on hand to draw for the Trade Show grand prize of an Apple iPad. AAMDC Aggregated Business Services (ABS), which is comprised of the Trade Division, PFA Canada, and Jubilee Insurance Agencies, continues to focus on delivering excellent member services. This year, we have increased our staff compliment by adding Carolyn Boyle as a Manager of Client Relations, and Dayna Johnson as a Risk Management Advisor.

This year, the Trade Division has again negotiated deeper discounts, Jubilee Insurance has been able complete its appraisal program, and PFA has grown significantly in several provinces.
