Great.
The FRAPRU isn't in favour of a guaranteed minimum income. We think that, under the current system, it could actually weaken the social safety net.
As we can see from the current situation, the social safety net is crucial, even though some programs weren't sufficient at the time of the pandemic, like employment insurance. We don't think it's a good idea to go down that road, precisely because we worry that it would weaken the social safety net, thereby making social programs less accessible.
We don't recommend that the federal government implement such a measure because it could erode existing programs. Instead, we think it's important to adjust programming, employment insurance and social housing, in particular. The flaws in the employment insurance program have become apparent in recent weeks.
