And if I was getting paid $2800.00 a month by the government, why would I even bother working?

For the same reason that you aren't on welfare today?
I haven't read enough about this issue to say if I support Switzerland's proposal or not (I'm tentatively leaning towards not), but there is at least some merit in believing that people will be motivated to work because they want to have more than the bare minimum. I don't know how the cost of living over there compares to Calgary, but $2800/mo ($33.6k/year) doesn't get you very far in this city.
