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.

Neutral, but if they do increase minimum wage, all other professions' wages should increase proportionally
@8V64Z3J4yrs4Y
No, instead of Minimum Wage there should be UBI, wages can then be Adjusted depending on skill/ability, less pressure on business owners and employees
@8TWHRGW4yrs4Y
Minimum wage should be $15 an hour, regardless of age (minors should get $15/hour)
@8TL22R94yrs4Y
No, but minimum wage workers should not be taxed.
Rise the federal minimum wage depending on where in Canada. (Raise the minimum wage in parts of Canada that have unaffordable housing)
Yes 20 dollars or higher
@8T2CBKF4yrs4Y
yes, it should be increased to a living wage and be adjusted yearly according to inflation
@8SXL7TS4yrs4Y
It should be different in every province/territory
@8S3NTLN4yrs4Y
i prefer an universal basic income
@8RTC844New Democratic4yrs4Y
as long as it doesnt increase inflation to the point where it cancels out
@8PBH5GG4yrs4Y
Minimum wage jobs should have a standard benefits package so companies can't replace 1 full time worker with 2 part time minimum wage workers. Livable wages should be mandatory for all jobs regardless of experience needed to perform said job.
@8NX6TN64yrs4Y
Depending on your income and residence
@8MSVPPH4yrs4Y
Yes. And lower wages by force of the top 1 percent and give raises to the lowest 50 percent.
Yes , adjust the minimum wage every year according to inflation and make it a liveable wage.
@8KWSXNK4yrs4Y
Possibly increased at the rate of inflation, but no quicker than inflation is happening
@8FG75SF4yrs4Y
Yes, by incentivising States to make their minimum wages a living wage and keep it up with inflation.
@5GHSCDS4yrs4Y
No, this will only benefit companies big enough to afford it
@8PD23XN3yrs3Y
Yes, but adjust it on a state and local level. A living wage in San Francisco and a living wage in rural Missouri are going to be different.
@8XQ89RC3yrs3Y
Minimum wage should be a temporary way to help people get back on their feet
@8532KYJ3yrs3Y
No, eliminate the minimum wage and replace it with a citizen dividend
@4M8TY2M3yrs3Y
Yes, it should be a living wage and be increased yearly according to inflation.
