Alan RedwayAlan Redway (LL.B, BComm) has had a fulfilling career as a lawyer, Mayor of the Borough of East York, and a Progressive Conservative Member of the House of Commons. He held the latter position for almost ten years, and his responsibilities included srving as the Minister of State (Housing). Always interested in eliminating poverty, Redway served for a number of years as the Chair of Toronto's Daily Bread Food Bank and also volunteered at both the Eastminster and St. Brigid's Out of the Cold programs in Toronto. A firm believer that the introduction of a universal basic income is feasible and can eliminate poverty in Canada, Redway urges action to get it over the goal line and for the federal government and the Bank of Canada to first agree that eliminating poverty in Canada is a priority and then work together in a cooperative effort to see it through.

Redway is also the author of Governing Toronto: Bringing back the city that worked and East York 1924-1997: Toronto's Garden of Eden. Read More Read Less
