To Nova Scotia’s political party leaders:

MLA’s receive a pension plan that is far richer than anything taxpaying Nova Scotians receive. For every dollar contributed by an MLA, taxpayers contribute twenty-two dollars. 

This kind of pension program is far too expensive for taxpayers to support, at a time when the government is running huge deficits and raising taxes. 

We the undersigned demand that the current MLA pension plan be scrapped and replaced with an RRSP defined contribution plan in which taxpayers contribute no more than $1 for every $1 contributed by an MLA. We further demand that politicians who have abused their expenses while in office do not receive a taxpayer-funded pension.
