National Framework for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income Act
  • Summary: This bill, titled "An Act to develop a national framework for a guaranteed livable basic income," requires the Minister of Finance to create a plan to provide all individuals over the age of 17 in Canada with access to a guaranteed livable basic income.
