A policy resolution was passed at the virtual Canadian Chamber of Commerce's annual general meeting last week to call on Ottawa to create a program and assess p...otential costs, benefits and challenges of a nationwide basic income social assistance program. The resolution was co-sponsored by the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce and advanced by the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce. Thunder Bay and Hamilton were locations where the former Liberal provincial government had implemented a basic income pilot program. The program, which was supposed to run for three years, was cancelled by the newly elected Progressive Conservative government after just over one year. https://www.cbc.ca//chamber-of-commerce-basic-income-1.578
