I would answer the question by saying that a basic income should be available to all but that it should not replace all the other services and programs that support people in various situations. We would have to see what base level to maintain. Moreover, a guaranteed minimum income should be available to all to establish a basis of equality, but that would certainly not exclude the provision of services for seniors or for people with disabilities or for other services that would complement the basic level.
