I also know that you recommended a guaranteed livable basic income, which I was really happy to see.

You talked about economic abuse. I've asked this question in other committees, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, article 4.5, directly calls for the implementation of a guaranteed livable basic income for all Canadians as a way to mitigate this crisis of violence.

Would you agree that a guaranteed livable basic income would assist women and diverse-gendered individuals to escape violence or not be as susceptible to economic abuse?
