Sure. I'll just qualify this that this is a personal opinion.
I believe that you would have to dismantle all the other systems to make this work, to cash out. As far as what the cost would be, we would have to see all those other bureaucracies dismantled because that's where the money will come from to fund the basic minimum income.
For example, I look at AISH in Alberta, which is a fantastic program. However, to qualify for it people with major mental health disorders are trying to fill out paperwork that I, myself, have a hard time getting through. If we looked at dealing with that program and having it not be a reality and instead look to a basic minimum income for all Canadians on a sliding scale, I think we could see some success in poverty reduction.
