	Universal Basic Income is viewed by some as an easier method, however when looking at the overall costs associated with a Universal Benefit, even at $500 per month would cost the Canadian Government $222 Billion. Whereas a GLBI with a minimal income testing level of 15% would help over 50% of Canadian Households with a minimum income while coming in at under that amount. Thus protecting lower income households from the future disconnect of higher earning families, but also helping those same higher earners who are paying for the program.<br /><br />		Universal Basic Income is viewed by some as an easier method, however when looking at the overall costs associated with a Universal Benefit, even at $500 per month would cost the Canadian Government $222 Billion.
