No, but indexed to the rate of inflation

Disagree

Yes, and implement a PISA (personal investment security account) system

The Canadian Communist Party might not be in favor of a PISA system, as it could be seen as a more market-based approach to pensions. They generally advocate for increased government involvement in social welfare programs, rather than relying on individual investments. However, they might support the idea of increased pensions in general.
