Stephen Moreau was interviewed by Focus Ontario: Global News outlining the class action lawsuit against the government over the cancelled universal basic income pilot project. 

In the interview, Stephen explains that the government didn't get to a point to determine what the cost of a universal basic income project would look like to properly assess whether the costs were worth the benefits. 

Stephen also said that the "individuals in the pilot project signed up, took themselves out of programs they knew and were comfortable with, and they took a risk on themselves. They took a risk by going back to school, by starting businesses, taking out loans, and found themselves in a lurch one year into a three year program."
