Lee Stevens discussed how a basic income for Albertans would allow certainty and stability for people, especially those currently on disability payments in an interview for The TYEE.
“The system is completely inefficient and ineffective,” Stevens says, pointing at the stability a livable basic income would provide to Albertans. “The desire of a basic income is to start combining some of these programs, streamline the system a bit, and create some certainty and security for people.”
Lee also spoke with Bryn Griffiths on 630 CHED about the cost of living in Alberta and whether the province needs a basic income.
