Minimum wage & universal income plateformes
Voici ce que les partis de 2019 Canadian election promettent.NDP
- Put in place a federal minimum wage of $15/hour, covering over 900,000 workers.
- Launch a national basic income pilot project.
New Democrats will work with the provinces to launch a national basic income pilot project in addition to continuing Ontario’s program, in order to gather data about this approach to tackling income precarity.
Green
- Establish a universal Guaranteed Livable Income programme.
- Establish a federal minimum wage of $15/hour.
- Work with the Council of Canadian Governments and StatsCan to set municipal minimum wages in accordance with the differential costs of living across Canada.
Establish a universal Guaranteed Livable Income (GLI) program to replace the current array of income supports, such as disability payments, social assistance and income supplements for seniors. Building on the MBM, payment would be set at a “livable” level for different regions of the country. The negotiation to implement a livable income across the country would take place through the Council of Canadian Governments. Unlike existing income support programs, additional income would not be clawed back. Those earning above a certain total income would pay the GLI back in taxes.
