Is A Basic Income Better Than Welfare? - The Jon McComb Show - Mar 16

Is a gaurnteed annual income a better way for government to deliver soical programs like welfare, UI and old age pensions? In Ottawa, a federal MP is pushing for government research on the subject. Ontario's provincial budget announced a pilot program to try it out. In Quebec, a cabinet minister has been assigned to study the topic. It’s the first such project in this country since the 1970’s. It’s an idea that has won support from both the right and the left over the years. My next guest has taken real steps to make it a reality.
