The Class Action against the Ontario Government with respect to its decision to cancel the Basic Income Pilot has been certified. This Class Action commenced nearly 5 years ago, in March 2019, and was brought on behalf of the 4,000 low-income individuals who participated in the Ontario Basic Income Pilot.

Though the pilot was meant to last for three years, the Ford government cancelled it after only 1. The sudden cancellation caused great upheaval to participants.
