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.

No, the government should focus more on keeping the cost of living down so wages don't have to keep going up.
Yes but UBI would be more practical. And actually universal. For everyone. As soon as limits are put on access to it people can start to systematically remove it from those in need.
