This question will resolve Yes if the program implemented is a full universal basic income program where every citizen receives a guaranteed income regardless of their existing income level or employment status.
for the context of this question the full basic income will have to be higher than the current International Poverty Line (IPL) defined by the World Bank according to the status of the income of the country adjusted for Purchasing power parity. currently its "a global absolute minimum, to $2.15 per day (in PPP). In addition, as of 2022, $3.65 per day in PPP for lower-middle income countries, and $6.85 per day in PPP for upper-middle income countries."
Update 2025-07-16 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): In response to a question about Canada's 'Guaranteed Basic Income' (GBI), the creator has clarified that the official name of a program does not matter.
The market can resolve to YES if a program like Canada's GBI is implemented, as long as it meets the market's core criteria: being guaranteed for every citizen regardless of their existing income level or employment status.

3.00It seems from googling that in Canada Guaranteed Basic Income and Universal Basic Income are two different beasts, and the former has larger support. How will you resolve if Canada implements the former, not the latter? https://www.ubiworks.ca/guaranteed-livable-basic-income
@JussiVilleHeiskanen hello jussi I just read a summary of the bill and I would say it is fair to resolve the market as yes if the Canada Guaranteed Basic Income is guaranteed for every citizen regardless of their existing income level or employment status
