BIG discussion, hosted by Grey Bruce Poverty Task Force

January 13 at 10:00 am
At Lee Manor (large meeting room), 875 6th Street East Owen Sound
This will be a discussion of a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) an old idea that is gaining traction as more and more people fall under the poverty line due to our precarious economy. Ontario is asking for comments on BIG by January 31st. This meeting will likely help determine what several agencies in Grey Bruce will say to Ontario.
Our principle concern is that, without first legislating a living wage, employers will use a BIG as a wage subsidy.
