Quote verified through web search. Naheed Nenshi, as Mayor of Calgary, publicly advocated for a basic income guarantee at the 2015 National Poverty Reduction Summit in Ottawa. Multiple sources confirm he spoke about "significant changes to the taxation system that would help us manage poverty in a brand new way… a negative income tax, maybe." The quote text closely matches corroborating sources. The vote direction ("for" on "Implement a universal basic income") is correct — Nenshi explicitly supported basic income. The source URL (thestar.com) could not be fetched due to proxy restrictions, but the article slug ("alberta-mayors-stick-back-guaranteed-minimum-income") is consistent with the quote content. Author biography as "Mayor of Calgary" is accurate for the 2015 timeframe.
