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.
@8Z3DJKY3yrs3Y
The government should introduce a universal basic income annually adjusted to the cost of living.

@8VVT75N4yrs4Y
No, minimum wage jobs are meant for students and basic jobs. However too many jobs only offer you minimum wage which why to many people find it difficult to make a living off of it.

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.
@8D54BQNNew Democratic5yrs5Y
