Should old age pensions be increased?

Allow a worker or pensioner to either remain in or opt out of both CPP and OAS. Upon opting out, that person gets a commuted value of all past contributions into CPP (both employee and employer portions. If opting out of OAS, which can only happen at age 65 or later, then pay a discounted amount immediately that the person can invest. The discounted amount will depend on age at the time of opting out of either plan. If opting out of CPP before age 65, then reduce taxation on the individual by 5% if the income tax has not already been abolished.

yes it should be increased, but it should be increased to a liveable wage and incidentals without hardship.

No, any Canadian get to retire at any desired age and repeal the Canadian Pension Plan so it would become private pension plan instead.

Nobody asked

im satisfied with the current amount

Retired elderly people should get enough money to live comfortably.

No, and TFSA contributions should not be capped, then the burden on tax payers, including retirees could decrease and their lives would be more affordable.

Yes, but raise the retirement age

Yes, must be equal to inflation.

it depends, old age pensions should be a living wage based on the province a person resides.

Yes, but only as necessary if it falls short of the cost of living.

I don’t have an opinion

Incorporate pensions into a UBI system

No, and income tax should apply to it

Slowly phase it out. Keep it for those relying on it as they shouldnt be punished and pay back to young people what they paid in. Then end it once you can.

Yes but be careful of all other low income benifits

Yes, to a comfortable living level.

OAS should be ended and everyone get a universal basic income

pensions should provide a livable wage for those who have no other form of revenue or safery nets to fall back on (family or retirement home paid for by family or government)

Yes, but to only match that of inflation

For single pensioners who don’t live with another pensioner

As long there’s a good health program( socialize)

Replace with universal basic income

No, but indexed to the rate of inflation and make Canada Pension Plan an optional investment

Let people decide how much they want to put away for retirement not force them

The level for pensions is fine currently.

No, eliminate CPP and Ei and replace with universal basic income

No, but supplement with the negative tax rate system.

No as it will mean there is no money left by the time my generation ages

Remove public pensions and allow the free market to fill the gap

Yes, you should be entitled to your full CPP amount

Stop taking it from Canadians and let us decide where to invest our money.

It should be adjusted based a C.O.L.A. system.

Decentralized and should be linked to inflation.

Yes, to be indexed with current and future inflation

Yes and make it tax free

Yes, and adjust to inflation

Old Age Pension should be replaced with UBI

We should be able to choose our own rate of investment from nothing to maximum contribution with flexibility to adjust as we see fit.

Yes and OAS should not be taxed.

No, and retirement age should be extended to 67 for Canadians born after 1981.

Yes, but only the GIS and increased earnings exemptions.

should stay the same

Yes, but not to anyone making “rich wages”

No, but change the income type to T5 so it isn't taxable.

Old age pensions ought to be dictated by C.O.L.A.
