That's totally great and it is why we're pitching something like a social care act, because we know that more isn't always better. More income support isn't always better. More affordable housing probably is better. However, until we better understand how the provinces are using their social service dollars and how people are accessing social assistance and welfare, we don't necessarily have a good answer about where those pieces need to be placed in basic income.
Is supporting people with disabilities to live with an income above the poverty line a good idea? Absolutely. Is getting people housing first a good idea? Absolutely. Is that the only solution? No. Until we have true accountability in terms of spending, we won't have true measurability and then we won't have truly good policy development.
