Sheila Regehr: The confusion around basic income

An excerpt of Sheila Regehr from the recent rabble politics panel, Off the Hill: Isn’t it time? A guaranteed basic income for Canada.

Sheila Regehr is a founding member and co-chairperson for the Basic Income Canada Network. She has nearly 30 years of federal public service work under her belt – spanning from front-line work to policy analysis and development, with policy expertise in areas of income security and taxation, such as child tax benefits, child support, maternity/parental benefits, pensions and social assistance. She is also the former executive director of the National Council of Welfare.

This entire webinar can be viewed on rabbletv. Off The Hill is rabble’s live monthly panel which delves into current issues of national political significance through a progressive lens. Discussions are centred on impacts of politics and policy on people, and on mobilizing to bring about progressive change. The panel is hosted by alternating hosts, Libby Davies and Robin Browne.
