“Basic income … can be implemented with speed, simplicity and efficiency by the keepers of our tax files, the Canada Revenue Agency.” #UBI #BasicIncomehttps://t.co/0bHLvU1ifk
When Trudeau was asked about Universal Basic Income – or UBI – at one of his daily press conferences, he responded by saying the government was targeting those in need and was not prepared to support a payout to everyone of all income levels, rich and poor alike. We agree. Basic income can be designed to target only those who need a top-up to provide for and maintain a very basic standard of living. And it can be implemented with speed, simplicity and efficiency by the keepers of our tax files, the Canada Revenue Agency.
