BC Basic Income Panel Report

In July 2018, the Province of BC announced the creation of an expert panel to explore the idea of a basic income guarantee in British Columbia.

The researchers’ mandate was to study basic income as a potential policy tool for poverty reduction, assessing its feasibility and its relation to existing income and social supports in BC.

The panel concluded their work in December 2020 and their findings are now publicly available on this website.

In the Executive Summary, there is a glossary of terms that can be found on pages ix to xi.
