The Policy

The RPC will replace the current Employment Insurance (EI) system with a Universal Basic Income (UBI) program which, in coordination with the other proposed changes, will ensure every Canadians' needs, as described in the Manifesto of Human Needs, are fully met.

The Research

Our Broader Stance on:

The purpose of our economy is primarily to create and maintain the necessities for society. We are lucky enough to have surplus in our economic production which can also provide for many of our personal wishes and desires, beyond just our needs. Building a strong, resilient economy is critical to ensuring this continues to be the case.

An economy is not a playground for the ultrawealthy capitalists to extract surplus value by exploiting labourers.
