Reader raises awareness about Bill 223
Letters
Dear friends;
Those of us in the Lindsay area know personally about Guaranteed Livable Income. GLI programs have proven to be effective in lifting people out of poverty. In addition GLI enables participants to achieve independence and further their life’s goals.
We are pleased to know that a private members’ bill promoting GLI will be presented to the House of Commons the week of September 16. This will be Bill 223’s second reading, and if it passes it will go to committee for discussion. We think it will do well there.
We all need to contact our MP and push him to support this bill.
Sincerely,
Mary Sanderson,
Cameron Lake
We retired with no work pensions could use a bit more
Bill 223 gets ahead of itself. I might support it if it were globally administered but not as written because it assumes an open borders policy and that only works with a global economy. In addition, the bill needs to detail the use of CRA AI software to administer the program and make clear if it is to be means tested.
And who should pay for it ? The already overburdened working person ? Why ? Why should we pay you for doing nothing ? (serious question) . Explain in detail why others should pay healthy people to do nothing.
