A Proposal for a Guaranteed Basic Income Benefit in Prince Edward Island
Basic Income Waterloo Region is pleased to support this proposal, which presents a basic income model for a fully-funded 5-7-year demonstration program in PEI. The model would considerably reduce poverty for Islanders while being more cost-effective than previously presented models. Championed by public servants, politicians, and advocates from PEI and across the country, this report is the outcome of more than 2 years of collaboration and will help guide crucial conversations on poverty reduction and income assistance in PEI and across Canada.
