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 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.
@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)
@8TV6ZGT4yrs4Y
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
@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.
@8L34WXW4yrs4Y
Raising the minimum wage will wipe out lots of small family business. Big companies sure have to pay a living wage.
@9CWP9662yrs2Y
Fix the housing market do we don’t need to increase minimum wage
@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
