The Liberals are accusing the government of not doing enough consultation which is a charge being rejected by Provincial Finance Minister Blaine Higgs.
Higgs is accusing the Liberals of trying to exploit this issue for votes with the provincial election in late September even though the cost would be borne by taxpayers.
Higgs argues something had to be done because pensions were in jeopardy and he accuses the Liberals of looking through the rear view mirror.
