Initiated by Alexander Carter from Toronto, Ontario
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Prince Edward Island has brought forward a Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) proposal that is supported by the provincial government and would serve as an ideal model for evaluating potential GBI programmes and funding mechanisms;
- Due to the changing geopolitical landscape, today’s world is highly unpredictable and unstable. The world of work is also changing with the rise of automation, artificial intelligence, and other technologies; and
- In order to look at how best to modernize our social safety net to better support Canadians in the 21st century.
We, the undersigned, Canadians supporting GBI, call upon the Government of Canada to implement a national framework for GBI that tests various funding and implementation models and their effects on poverty, inequality, innovation and labour productivity.
