Quebec warns Ottawa on pensions
(THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jacques Boissinot)
The premier of the Canadian province of Quebec is urging Prime Minister Stephen Harper not to abuse his majority. Jean Charest says it's a bad idea for the federal government to act unilaterally on pension reform. He says the federal government needs to consult because any changes will have an impact not only on Canadians' daily lives but on provincial budgets. Mr. Harper is planning reforms to the pension system and says details will be released in the federal budget expected at the end of the month or in early March.
