"Now Canadians can show that Basic Income will grow the economy. They have the data to prove it." — Andrew Yang, former US Presidential Candidate "This is by far the most comprehensive report I have seen on this issue. Covid-19 has exposed the fragility of our society. UBI at the minimum should be explored as a potential solution and this report provides the foundation for an informed debate." — Benjamin Tal, Deputy Chief Economist of CIBC "This landmark report substantially advances the discussion on a universal basic income in Canada, and puts it front and centre in the policy agenda for Canada’s spring budget and the broader process of rebuilding from the pandemic.” — Brett House, VP & Deputy Chief Economist of Scotiabank "Too much of the discussion surrounding Basic Income focuses on cost alone. This analysis by CANCEA demonstrates that the economic return can be actually much greater than the cost... That is why CANCEA's study of potential economic impacts means so much and is of such value." — Former Conservative Senator Hugh Segal Dec 12, 2020 Report Launch Event Playlist:    • CANCEA Basic Income Report Launch Eve...   Full launch event:    • (FULL) UBI Report Launch: Basic Incom...   ——— Follow UBI Works on social media Facebook:   / ubiworkscanada   Twitter:   / ubi_works   Instagram:   / ubi_works
