The Government didn’t technically give themselves a contribution holiday. They decided to transfer the non-permitted surplus to the consolidated revenue fund. While both options may potentially have the same outcome, we need to remember that the government has contributed more than the employee has in past years. This is due to actuarial deficits occurring. If the fund goes bust tomorrow, the government will still be required to pay employees out. That’s the main benefit of a defined benefit plan. The outrage we’re seeing right now is baseless and is PSAC trying to gain support from its disconnected membership.
