Yesterday, at their National Convention in Halifax, the members of the Liberal Party of Canada adopted Basic Income as official party policy. This is the third time that the grass roots membership has voted in favour of a resolution supporting Basic Income. This year's resolution follows similar successful resolutions from 2014 and 2016.
The reality is that there are influential people in the party who are not keen on the idea of a Basic Income. For the Finance Minister, Basic Income is not on the radar.
