I think we need programs that provide a basic platform of income for all households. We still need to recognize that some households may have other needs. One participant in one of the programs that I'm working with has severe disabilities. She needs medication and she needs supports for helping her around her house. We can't say that her needs will be the same as my needs. The kinds of income supports that people need will vary across the board.
We need to provide a basic platform for all Canadians and then look at other programs to see where the gaps are. We know that a basic income doesn't mean that families don't still need child care to be able to access employment or access their education.
