The <i>Toronto Star</I> <a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/03/11/explore-idea-of-guaranteed-minimum-income-parliamentary-committee-says.html"><U>shares</u></a> Andy Blatchford's Canadian Press article noting the traction the idea of a guaranteed minimum income at the federal level in Canada.
<blockquoteA Liberal-dominated parliamentary committee is calling on the federal government to explore the concept of guaranteeing people a minimum income.
The finance committee tabled a pre-budget report Friday that pushes for a study and pilot project on basic income, which is seen as a way to lift people out of poverty.
The idea, which was not in the Liberal election platform, was among 56 recommendations in a document that encouraged the federal government to act on a broad range of subjects — from aboriginal issues to labour mobility to a national transit strategy.
The report was presented before Finance Minister Bill Morneau unveils the Liberals’ maiden budget on March 22. But it is unclear whether the suggestions will find their way into Morneau’s final fiscal plan.
The committee also urged the Liberals to refrain from making any changes to the existing federal taxation regime and other rules for small businesses. Those include professional businesses, the documents noted.</blockquote>
