    From John KingofthePaupers Turmel@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 24 12:52:05 2023
    JCT: It doesn't specify what it can do but what it can do
    can be discerned in the political verbiage:

    PARLIAMENT OF CANADA
    BILL S-233
    First Reading
    First Session, Forty-fourth Parliament,
    70 Elizabeth II, 2021

    SENATE OF CANADA
    BILL S-233
    An Act to develop a national framework for a guaranteed
    livable basic income

    JCT: That's the cover story, it's to provide a guaranteed
    livable basic income to those who obey.

    FIRST READING, DECEMBER 16, 2021
    THE HONOURABLE SENATOR Pate

    4412114

    SUMMARY

    This enactment requires the Minister of Finance to develop a
    national framework to provide all persons over the age of 17
    in Canada with access to a guaranteed livable basic income.
    It also provides for reporting requirements with respect to
    the framework.

    JCT: It's "to provide access" to all persons who qualify.

    BILL S-233

    An Act to develop a national framework for a guaranteed
    livable basic income

    Preamble
    Whereas every person should have access to a livable basic
    income;

    JCT: Not every person should have a livable basic income,
    only access if you qualify.

    Whereas the provision of a guaranteed livable basic income
    would go a long way toward eradicating poverty and improving
    income equality, health conditions and educational outcomes;

    Whereas the provision of a guaranteed livable basic income
    would benefit individuals, families and communities and
    protect those who are made most vulnerable in society, while
    facilitating the transition to an economy that responds to
    the climate crisis and other current major challenges;

    And whereas a guaranteed livable basic income program
    implemented through a national framework would ensure the
    respect, dignity and security of all persons in Canada;

    JCT: Sure, it will do a log of good for those who qualify.

    Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and
    consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts
    as follows:

    Short title
    1. This Act may be cited as the National Framework for a
    Guaranteed Livable Basic Income Act.

    Interpretation
    Definitions
    2. The following definitions apply in this Act.

    Indigenous governing body means a council, government or
    other entity that is authorized to act on behalf of an
    Indigenous group, community or people that holds rights
    recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution
    Act, 1982. (corps dirigeant autochtone)

    Minister means the Minister of Finance. (ministre)

    National Framework
    Development
    3. (1) The Minister must develop a national framework for
    the implementation of a guaranteed livable basic income
    program throughout Canada for any person over the age of 17,
    including temporary workers, permanent residents and refugee
    claimants.

    JCT: For "any person" who qualifies. not "every person."

    Consultation
    (2) In developing the framework, the Minister must consult
    with the Minister of Health, the ministers responsible for
    employment, social development and disability,
    representatives of the provincial governments responsible
    for health, disability, education and social development,
    Indigenous elders, Indigenous governing bodies and other
    relevant stakeholders, including policy developers and
    political decision-makers, as well as experts in other
    guaranteed livable basic income programs.

    Content
    (3) The framework must include measures

    (a) to determine what constitutes a livable basic income for
    each region in Canada, taking into account the goods and
    services that are necessary to ensure that individuals can
    lead a dignified and healthy life, as well as the cost of
    those goods and services in accessible markets;

    JCT: Lots of bureaucracy to distribute different amounts.

    (b) to create national standards for health and social
    supports that complement a guaranteed basic income program
    and guide the implementation of such a program in every
    province;

    JCT: National standards for health will include requirement
    to be vaxed, no doubt. They just won't tell us now, only
    later.

    (c) to ensure that participation in education, training or
    the labour market is not required in order to qualify for a
    guaranteed livable basic income; and

    JCT: So they tell us what's participation is not required to
    qualify but not what participation is required to qualify!
    Participation in being vaxed someday later?

    (d) to ensure that the implementation of a guaranteed
    livable basic income program does not result in a decrease
    in services or benefits meant to meet an individual's
    exceptional needs related to health or disability.

    JCT: So "the implementation must not result in a decrease
    in services or benefits meant to meet an individual's
    exceptional needs related to health." But may result in a
    decrease meant to meet an individual's regular needs."

    Reports to Parliament

    Tabling of framework
    4. (1) Within one year after the day on which this Act comes
    into force, the Minister must prepare a report setting out
    the framework, including any social, health and economic
    conclusions and recommendations related to its development,
    and cause the report to be tabled in each House of
    Parliament on any of the first 15 days on which that House
    is sitting after the report is completed.

    JCT: In a year, we'll find out what health conclusions and
    recommendations will be levied upon us.

    Publication
    (2) The Minister must publish the report on the website of
    the Department of Finance within 10 days after the report
    has been tabled in both Houses of Parliament.

    Report
    5. Within two years after the report referred to in section
    4 has been tabled in both Houses of Parliament, and every
    year after that, the Minister must, in consultation with the
    parties referred to in subsection 3(2), undertake a review
    of the effectiveness of the framework, prepare a report
    setting out the social, health and economic findings and
    recommendations related to the implementation and
    effectiveness of the framework, and cause the report to be
    tabled in each House of Parliament on any of the first 15
    days on which that House is sitting after it is completed.


    JCT: Every 2 years, the Minister must review the health
    findings and recommendations.

    Published under authority of the Senate of Canada

    So on a bill to give any qualified person access to a
    guaranteed livable basic income, they'll get to make being
    vaxed a requirement of qualification. Without mentioning it
    once.

    Could the Liberals be that tricky? Har har har.

    Looks like I'll have to file an objection in Federal Court
    even though I've been barred as a "vexatious litigant" and
    can't without seeking leave. Okay. I will. And if I'm not
    granted leave, I can appeal.
