STRACHAN CALLS FOR
GUARANTEED INCOMES

NDP Opposition Leader
Robert Strachan has suggest-
ed that a guaranteed income
policy be instituted to elim-
inate poverty.

In a speech to NDP mem-
bers he stated:

“As a provincial govern-
ment of British Columbia, the
New Democratic Party would
not spend its time in an end-
less squabble with Ottawa
about out-dated procedures

and inadequate financial divi-
sions. We would advocate
new policies and adopt new
methods and new attitudes.
We would be offering to co-
operate in meeting the needs
of today and tomorrow.”

He said the NDP would
put an end to the present
shabby patchwork of inade-
quate legislation.

“Our objective must be not
only to provide full employ-
ment, but to create the op-

ortunity to lead fuller lives.

e must not only have free-
dom from want; we must
make available to every per-
son a rightful share of the

national prosperity. We must
make sure that every person
has a chance to work and is
paid adequate wages. Con-
tinuing income must be avail-
able to those who are unable
to work or have no work.”

He went on to say that the
experts believe that the goal
of full employment in the
face of ever-growing techno-
logical change is not feasible.
The number of people who
remained on social welfare
right through the recent boom
and the speed with which un-
employment figures have in-
creased in recent months
gives a glimpse of the future.
More and more people now
realize the need of a guaran-
teed income as a fact in our
society.

He stated that the NDP
believes such a policy would
alleviate the poverty troub-
ling so many Canadians to-
day. ;

In its most simple form the
guaranteed income plan
would be based on the
amount that is required to
provide a decent subsistence
each year. The number of
children in the family would
indicate a higher require-
ment.

Those people who have a
lower income would be
brought up to the level of a
guaranteed income by pay-
ments from the government.
These payments would be a
matter of right, and would be
based on a return made with-

in the present income tax
machinery.

Such a procedure would
remove the need for almost
all of the multiplicity of
agencies now engaged in try-
ing to create a welfare state.
It would wipe out the need
for most of our social welfare
agencies as well as the var-
ious subsidies and special re-
gional allowances which cause
so much friction between Ot-
tawa and the provinces.

The guaranteed income
would be the most logical
way of fighting poverty, ad-
ministering welfare and pro-
moting stability in labor-man-
agement relations.
