Saskatchewan’s New Democrats have endorsed a guaranteed basic income pilot project and are currently lobbying the provincial government to begin a limited distribution of a guaranteed income. The New Democrats are willing to accept either an unconditional basic income or a negative income tax. The endorsement and the subsequent effort to implement a guaranteed income came on the heels of a report from the Advisory Group on Poverty Reduction recommending a pilot project. The Canadian Medical Association has also expressed support for such a measure.
For more information on the potential Saskatchewan guaranteed income pilot project, see:
NDP Caucus Administration, “New Democrats call for a guaranteed basic income pilot project“, September 02, 2015.
The Saskatchewan Green Party congratulates the Sask NDP for FINALLY coming onboard to support the Guaranteed Basic Income.
The Green Parties worldwide have supported the GLI / GBI for many many decades.
In April 2016, the Sask Green Party will campaign on our REAL CHANGE PLATFORM 2016 that includes immediate implementation of a universal Guaranteed Income for all SK citizens via the Sask Assured Income for Everyone.
