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.
@95YCXKH3yrs3Y
yes, adjust with inflammation (not necessarily every year)
@8ZNFP9T3yrs3Y
Minimum wage should depend on how long you have stayed at the store. if you stayed for over 5 years and work full time you should get a tiny bit of a upgrade, if you work part time and for less than five years minimum wage is good.
@8Z3DJKY3yrs3Y
The government should introduce a universal basic income annually adjusted to the cost of living.
@8Z2SBTR3yrs3Y
@8YKF22B3yrs3Y
Neutral, but if they do increase minimum wage, all other professions' wages should increase proportionally
@8VLJ4NM4yrs4Y
Raise minimum wage in expensive areas to live
@8VL4GDB4yrs4Y
Have a general standard but raise depending on profits per business so small business can still afford to hire
@8V9KY564yrs4Y
Yes to raising minimum wage but if minimum wage goes up so does everyone ones else wage as well to keep that difference in wages
@8TXHBQ64yrs4Y
This has to be mandated provincially
@8TV6ZGT4yrs4Y
@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
Minimum wage should be adjusted depending on the place
@8QFVJYV4yrs4Y
i believe that it should stay the way it is, as the change may cause many major companies to begin replacing more and more of their workers with automated systems.
@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.
@8L34WXW4yrs4Y
Raising the minimum wage will wipe out lots of small family business. Big companies sure have to pay a living wage.
@8F2X2SV5yrs5Y
If minimum wage is being increased, people with career jobs should have a pay increase too. It’s not fair that someone with minimal education is getting paid almost the same as someone with education and a good career.
@9CWP9662yrs2Y
Fix the housing market do we don’t need to increase minimum wage
@8SQK49R4yrs4Y
minimum wage should be adjusted depending on the amount of roles you serve or what position you are in
@8QP9T3Q4yrs4Y
Adjust to inflation or abolish entirely and implement UBI.
@8KWSXNK4yrs4Y
Possibly increased at the rate of inflation, but no quicker than inflation is happening
@993TYN3Conservative2yrs2Y
Instead of minimum wage, have UBI that is only available to unemployed people, and set it at liveable amount so corporations have permanent wage competition
@8FG75SF4yrs4Y
Yes, by incentivising States to make their minimum wages a living wage and keep it up with inflation.
@8S9YYND4yrs4Y
No, people will lose jobs if you increase the minimum wage
