Professor Louis Doiron, Director of the Actuarial Science and Financial Mathematics programs at UPEI, will give a second virtual presentation about “The Feasibility and Costing of Implementing a Guaranteed Basic Income Program in Canada” on Wednesday, November 10, at 3:00 pm.

The seminar is a repeat of one given by Professor Doiron on October 17 with some additional aspects covered. He will discuss the design, potential challenges, and the cost of implementing a guaranteed basic income program, as well as the impacts of inflation and other trends, which were part of the federal government’s budget in April 2021. He will also discuss the role that actuaries would play in the various stages of implementing such a program should it take place.

The presentation, which is open to the public, will take place via Zoom. Please use the following link: https://upei.zoom.us/j/66764932250?pwd=bElsa0ZydGx0eGFZNkdUbjFieHJtQT09. The meeting ID is 667 6493 2250, and the passcode is 467845.
