Response by the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability InclusionSigned by (Minister or Parliamentary Secretary): IREK KUSMIERCZYKThe Government of Canada is taking crucial steps to help make life more affordable for more Canadians, while investing to grow the economy and create jobs.  It is important to acknowledge that income security is a shared responsibility across different orders of government. As such, the federal Government recognizes the importance of working with provinces and territories to find solutions to common challenges.This petition calls for the implementation of a Guaranteed Livable Income, which can be viewed as equivalent to a basic income. The Government of Canada already has ongoing programs with features of a partial basic income, such as the Canada Child Benefit for families with children, and the Old Age Security (OAS) pension and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors. These and other initiatives have contributed to progress on lifting Canadians out of poverty. These programs exist alongside provincial and territorial programs, including those that deliver social assistance.In addition, recent budgets introduced several measures that will help to reduce poverty and inequality. For example, Budget 2022 included a comprehensive plan to make housing more affordable; set the stage for dental care for low-income Canadians; and outlined an employment strategy for persons with disabilities.  Budget 2021 also included measures such as increasing regular OAS payments for pensioners aged 75 and older by 10 percent as of July 2022; temporary measures to make Employment Insurance more accessible and simple for Canadians; and, expanding the Canada Workers Benefit to support about 1 million additional Canadians in low-wage jobs.The Government is also working with provincial, territorial and Indigenous partners to build a Canada-wide, community-based child care system, with the federal government providing provinces and territories with significant funding to support substantial reductions to families for the cost of regulated child care spaces.The Government of Canada is committed to the social and economic inclusion of persons with disabilities. On June 2, 2022, the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion reintroduced ground-breaking legislation that would establish a new Canada Disability Benefit (CDB). If approved by Parliament, the CDB would become an important part of Canada’s social safety net, alongside Old Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement and the Canada Child Benefit. It could significantly reduce poverty and benefit hundreds of thousands of Canadians.Furthermore, the Government of Canada continually undertakes research and analysis on potential basic income programs and other approaches that could positively impact Canada’s economy and society, as part of its efforts to tackle poverty and to ensure that all Canadians have a real and fair opportunity to succeed. As we move towards economic recovery, the Government is continuing to explore a variety of potential shorter and longer-term policy responses that could address the ongoing needs of Canadians.

As such, the federal Government recognizes the importance of working with provinces and territories to find solutions to common challenges.This petition calls for negotiations between the Government of Canada and the Government of Prince Edward Island for the development and implementation of a provincial Guaranteed Livable Income, which can be viewed as equivalent to a basic income. The Government of Canada already has ongoing programs with features of a partial basic income, such as the Canada Child Benefit for families with children, and the Old Age Security pension and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors. In addition, existing programs such as the Canada Workers Benefit and Employment Insurance (EI) help low-income individuals with labour market attachment or those with insurable employment. These and other initiatives have contributed to progress on lifting Canadians out of poverty. These programs exist alongside provincial and territorial programs, including those that deliver social assistance.In 2022, the Government of Canada announced the Affordability Plan?, a suite of measures totaling $12.1 billion in new support in 2022 to help make life more affordable for millions of Canadians. Measures in the Affordability Plan include enhancing the Canada Workers Benefit, a 10 per cent increase to Old Age Security (OAS), affordable Early Learning and Child Care, helping Canadians afford their rent, dental care for Canadians, doubling the Goods and Services Tax Credit for six months, benefits that are indexed to inflation, and helping Canadians while fighting climate change.  These measures build on the strong action we have been taking since 2015 to make life more affordable and build an economy that works for all Canadians.The Government of Canada reintroduced framework legislation for the Canada Disability Benefit    (Bill C-22) in the House of Commons on June 2, 2022. The goal of the proposed benefit is to reduce poverty and support the financial security of working-age persons with disabilities. The Canada Disability Benefit is a key component of Canada’s first-ever Disability Inclusion Action Plan. In addition to the Benefit, the Disability Inclusion Action Plan also includes a robust employment strategy for Canadians with disabilities, as well as ongoing work to develop a better process to determine eligibility for federal disability programs and benefits.The Government of Canada continually undertakes research and analysis on potential basic income programs and other approaches that could positively impact Canada’s economy and society, as part of its efforts to tackle poverty and to ensure that all Canadians have a real and fair opportunity to succeed. Findings from this analysis underscore that a basic income program would represent a major change in Canada's social safety net, not only in scope and scale, but also in the way it would have to engage provincial and territorial jurisdictions over social assistance. Nevertheless, if a provincial or territorial government decides to proceed with a basic income pilot, the Government of Canada would be pleased to share federal-level administrative, survey, and tax data that could support program design and evaluation. As we move towards economic recovery, the Government is continuing to explore a variety of potential shorter and longer-term policy responses that could address the ongoing needs of Canadians.  
Response by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of FinanceSigned by (Minister or Parliamentary Secretary): The Honourable Chrystia FreelandIncome security is a shared jurisdiction across different levels of government. At the federal level, the Government of Canada already has programs with similar features to a basic income, such as the Canada Child Benefit for families with children, the Old Age Security program and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors. In addition, existing programs such as the Canada Workers Benefit and Employment Insurance (EI) provide income supports for low-income individuals with labour market attachment or those with insurable employment. These programs exist alongside provincial and territorial social assistance programs.The Government of Canada continually undertakes research and analysis on a range of policies and programs as part of its efforts to ensure that all Canadians have a real and fair opportunity to succeed. Findings from this analysis underscore that a universal basic income program would represent a major change in Canada's social safety net, not only in scope and scale, but also in the way it would have to engage provincial/territorial jurisdiction over social assistance. As numerous academics have pointed out, any basic income proposal has to confront fundamental trade-offs in relation to the amount of the benefit level, the impact on work incentives, and program costs.The Government of Canada provides significant financial support to provincial and territorial governments on an ongoing basis to assist them in the provision of programs and services. In 2022-23, the Government of Prince Edward Island will receive $768 million through major transfers, consisting of $503 million in Equalization, $196 million through the Canada Health Transfer, and $69 million through the Canada Social Transfer. Together, major transfers are estimated to account for approximately 30 percent of Prince Edward Island’s revenues in 2022-23, with Equalization accounting for nearly 20 percent. Withholding payments of the Canada Health Transfer or Canada Social Transfer are only done as a result of provincial and territorial non-compliance of the Canada Health Act or the imposition of a minimum residency requirement on social assistance programs, respectively.

If the province of Prince Edward Island decides to proceed with a basic income pilot, the Government of Canada would be pleased to collaborate and could potentially share federal-level administrative, survey, and tax data that could support program design and evaluation.The Government of Canada has already implemented programs that address some elements of a partial basic income, such as the Canada Child Benefit for families with children, and the Old Age Security pension and the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors. These and other initiatives have contributed to progress on lifting Canadians out of poverty. These programs complement provincial and territorial programs, including those that deliver social assistance.In addition, recent budgets introduced several measures that will help to reduce poverty and inequality. For example, Budget 2023 made significant investments to build a healthier Canada and deliver affordable dental care, including $13 billion over five years, and $4.4 billion ongoing, to implement the Canada Dental Care Plan.  The Government is also working with provincial, territorial and Indigenous partners to build a Canada-wide, community-based early learning child care system. The federal government is providing provinces and territories with significant funding to support substantial reductions to families for the cost of regulated child care spaces.The Government of Canada also undertakes research and analysis on potential basic income programs and other approaches that could positively impact Canada’s economy and society, as part of its efforts to tackle poverty and to ensure that all Canadians have a real and fair opportunity to succeed.

  • En novembre 2020, le rapport final du Comité spécial de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard sur la pauvreté dans la province a recommandé au gouvernement de l’Île d’entreprendre sans tarder des négociations avec le gouvernement du Canada en vue d’élaborer et de mettre en œuvre un programme de revenu minimum garanti dans la province;
  • Tous les partis politiques de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard se sont dits en faveur, comme le réclame le rapport, du lancement d’un projet pilote de revenu minimum garanti dans la province;
  • Ce projet profiterait à tout le Canada, puisque la pauvreté est le premier déterminant social de la santé et que des approches audacieuses et créatives sont nécessaires pour comprendre et traiter dans leur complexité les causes réelles et les conséquences de la pauvreté au pays.
Nous soussignés, citoyens et résidents du Canada, prions le gouvernement du Canada de :
  • Commencer sans tarder des négociations avec le gouvernement de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard en vue de l’élaboration et de la mise en œuvre d’un projet pilote de revenu minimum garanti dans la province, lequel projet sera administré, contrôlé et évalué pendant au moins cinq ans.

  • En novembre 2020, le rapport final du Comité spécial de l’Île du Prince Édouard sur la pauvreté à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard a recommandé que le gouvernement de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard entame immédiatement des négociations avec le gouvernement du Canada en vue d’élaborer et de mettre en œuvre un Programme de démonstration du revenu de base garanti pour l’Île du Prince Édouard;
