Get familiar with the basics about Basic Income:
Coalition Canada has developed several brief documents to help you have good conversations about a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG), also known as a Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI). By using the same information, we can align our efforts with advocates across Canada:
The Basic Income We Want – briefly describes the key principles of the BIG we are advocating for.
Talking Points – These 2 pages will help prepare you to have good conversations about BIG, or GBI.
Frequently Asked Questions – Helps you answer questions that are usually raised when talking about basic income.
Case for Basic Income Series – where experts briefly explain why a BIG is important to their sector and to their stakeholders.
A Proposal for a Guaranteed Basic Income for PEI shows how far we’ve come in our understanding of how to design and implement the BIG we want. This report describes in detail how much people would receive, how much it would cost, the impacts on the labour market, and how the program can be managed and delivered.
With this information in mind, please speak to your family, friends and colleagues about BIG and why it is important to you.
