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.

Yes, and directly tie it to inflation to prevent employers from raising the cost of their goods to compensate
@8XBLDNY3yrs3Y
I think they should raise it for people who live on their own.
@8VS2P6X4yrs4Y
No, the government should instead work to reduce the cost of living
@8VFKPLZ4yrs4Y
Yes and regulate inflation as adjusting min wage with inflation won't help those who make closer to it
@8V6RLGM4yrs4Y
No, there should be no federal minimum wage, only provincial and territory
@8V4NKBZ4yrs4Y
Minimum wage should depend on provincial costs. A Living wage will be different in Toronto than Winnipeg and should be mandated at that level. Federal law should govern only that living wage should be enforced, not what that number should be for individual provinces.

Tough question need more info
@8TWMPTP4yrs4Y
sometimes that is all they can get is minimum wage jobs, uncertain as to the correct answer But wages need to be fair
@8PWGCRS4yrs4Y
Yes, make it a living wage while also adjusting it every year according to inflation.
@99865T32yrs2Y
I think minimum wage is fine as it is but it would be great if they upped it a bit
