Canada's federal government implements a policy of equalization payments[1] to offset & balance "fiscal capacity" (the ability to pay taxes). Prince Edward Island, the Canadian province in question, is a province that is targeted to receive around 3.9K CAD per capita over 2016-2017[2] in federal transfer payments.<p>I'm curious to find out whether the PEI UBI program will result in an increase, or whether UBI will be somewhat self-sustaining from the current PEI working resident tax-base.<p>The actual motion text, which isn't very substantive because it only asks that a partnership be pursued with the federal government to fund the UBI pilot, can be found on the PEI Legislative Assembly page.[3]<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_payments_in_Canada" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_payments_in_Canad...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.fin.gc.ca/fedprov/mtp-eng.asp#Prince" rel="nofollow">https://www.fin.gc.ca/fedprov/mtp-eng.asp#Prince</a><p>[3] <a href="http://www.assembly.pe.ca/progmotions/onemotion.php?number=83&session=2&assembly=65" rel="nofollow">http://www.assembly.pe.ca/progmotions/onemotion.php?number=8...</a>
