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, increasing minimum wage increasing adoption of technology and the loss of jobs: as well as, cause prices to increase.
@9WPPMKFRhinoceros6mos6MO
No, the government should instead give a mandatory promotion/raise to workers every six months if they have shown good work ethic.
it would be nice if they could raise it according to the living wage and inflation but its not sustainable if they do
@9XGBZVG6mos6MO
Minimum wage has not increased since the 1960's. Focusing on increasing affordability and reducing corporate profits should be a priority.
@9GPTJ2D1yr1Y
This requires a more nuanced approach: A criteria should be developed that jobs/positions must meet to enable employers to only compensate someone with minimum wage. If the job demands exceed the criteria, then it should be illegal for an employer to pay minimum wage for that position. After that, it should be up to the employer to identify the wage(s) it can afford to pay employees.

You can increase minimum wage to 100 a hour. If you don’t increase financial literacy they less fortunate will remain the less fortunate
@8NWSVZZ4yrs4Y
No, and we must eliminate insourcing of foreign labour at reduced wages whoch unfairly compete with high local opportunity costs.
@8FTG5KJ5yrs5Y
Yes, and consider a top to bottom gap cap
Yes , adjust the minimum wage every year according to inflation and make it a liveable wage.
@8ZRFPJK3yrs3Y
Yes, make it a living wage, AND adjust it yearly (or every few years) to keep pace with inflation
