DESCRIPTION:In this webcast moderated by Max Bell School Director Chris Rag
 an\, watch Jennifer Robson\, Associate Professor at Carleton University\, 
 and Ken Boessenkool\, public-policy economist\, discuss the complexity of 
 delivering government benefits during a crisis.\n\nA crisis basic income w
 ould cover almost all Canadians who are working\, is automatic rather than
  application-based\, and can be taxed\, or clawed back when Canadians file
  their taxes next year. Ken Boessenkool believes this is the best way forw
 ard.\n\nOn the other hand\, Jennifer Robson argues that Canada’s tax colle
 ctor does not have a super-database that it can use\, on demand\, to just 
 print cheques to everyone. Moreover\, spending time and money to build one
 \, in the middle of a crisis\, would be unethical.\n\nRegister here.\n\n\n
