The federal minimum wage is the lowest wage at which employers may pay their employees. The Liberal government eliminated Canada's federal minimum wage in 1996. Each province and territory now sets their own minimum wage which range from $10.50 per hour to 12.50 per hour.

It should be different in every province/territory

Change the minimum wage to reflect on the living wage of that specific area.
@8PF4W7C4yrs4Y
Minimum wages should continue to be set by Provincial governments.
@8MSVPPH4yrs4Y
Yes. And lower wages by force of the top 1 percent and give raises to the lowest 50 percent.
@8L34WXW4yrs4Y
Raising the minimum wage will wipe out lots of small family business. Big companies sure have to pay a living wage.
@8KNJFF74yrs4Y
Yes, with government subsidies for small businesses. Not for corporations.
No, but housing should be more affordable in BC.
@8HNJNW75yrs5Y
yes but only for certain jobs that require harder work.

There is no point because small businesses have a hard time because they will have to pay more, and they will raise the price of products, so basically nothing will change

Possibly increased at the rate of inflation, but no quicker than inflation is happening
@8SPRKVF4yrs4Y
Yes, but with an independent division within the Federal government that adjusts the minimum wage depending on the economic conditions at the time (inflation, recession, activity, etc.)
@4M8TY2M3yrs3Y
Yes, it should be a living wage and be increased yearly according to inflation.
@4SNPK4B3yrs3Y
Create a decent universal basic income, enough to live comfortably with no additional income, after which minimum wage laws are unnecessary.
