IN THE HOUSE – Presenting petitions – Universal Basic Income

44th Parliament, 1st session

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to present petition e-2555, signed by over 1,000 Canadians from coast to coast. These Canadians call on the federal government to put in place a basic income for all Canadians. These Canadians also note that we already have in place a universal basic income that goes to seniors, the old age security. They note as well with COVID we have seen the kind of economic devastation that comes from not having in place a basic income threshold.

 

These citizens of Canada call on the House of Commons to extend on a permanent basis a new all-age security that is fixed annually at the dollar amount that exceeds the poverty income level. It would make a big difference in Canada
