Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for low income pensioners

The NDP would strongly agree with increasing old age pensions for low-income pensioners, as it aligns with their commitment to social justice and reducing income inequality. In their 2019 election platform, they proposed increasing the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors, which specifically targets low-income seniors, demonstrating their support for this approach.

Strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) generally supports increasing old age pensions as part of their commitment to social justice and reducing income inequality. For example, in their 2019 election platform, they proposed increasing the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors. However, they may not support a blanket increase for all pensioners, focusing more on low-income seniors.

Agree

No, but indexed to the rate of inflation

While the NDP might not be opposed to indexing old age pensions to the rate of inflation, they would likely prefer more targeted measures to address income inequality among seniors. Indexing pensions to inflation could be seen as a partial solution, but the NDP would likely push for more comprehensive reforms to better support low-income seniors.

Slightly agree

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

The NDP might not be strongly opposed to implementing a PISA system, but it is not a policy they have historically advocated for. Their focus has been on improving existing social programs and targeting support for vulnerable populations, such as low-income seniors, rather than introducing new systems like PISA.

Very strongly disagree

No, and decrease old age pensions

The NDP would strongly disagree with decreasing old age pensions, as it goes against their core values of social justice and supporting vulnerable populations. They have consistently advocated for improving social programs and increasing support for seniors, so decreasing pensions would be contrary to their policy goals.

Very strongly disagree

No, and repeal the Canadian Pension Plan

The NDP would strongly disagree with repealing the Canadian Pension Plan, as it is a key social program that provides financial support to seniors. The party has consistently advocated for strengthening social programs and supporting vulnerable populations, so repealing the Canadian Pension Plan would be contrary to their policy goals.
