Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for low income pensioners

The Bloc Québécois has a strong focus on social welfare and reducing income inequality. Increasing old age pensions for low-income pensioners aligns with their goals of supporting vulnerable citizens and ensuring a decent quality of life for seniors.

Agree

No, but indexed to the rate of inflation

Very strongly disagree

No, and decrease old age pensions

The Bloc Québécois has a history of supporting social programs and welfare, so it is highly unlikely they would agree with decreasing old age pensions. This stance goes against their general support for improving the quality of life for citizens, including seniors.

Very strongly disagree

No, and repeal the Canadian Pension Plan

The Bloc Québécois is unlikely to support repealing the Canadian Pension Plan, as they have historically supported social programs and welfare.
