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, eliminate the minimum wage and replace it with a citizen dividend
@KatyUngodly4yrs4Y
Yes, and adjust it every year according to productivity and inflation
@86DRW6C5yrs5Y
No, minimum wages should be set through collective bargaining instead of a federal standard
@8VF3D6Q4yrs4Y
no, let each state decide their minimum wage.
@8R8K8WM4yrs4Y
Yes, but adjusted for cost of living in each state
@7NMLC8N5yrs5Y
Yes, and minimum wage should be raised gradually to not negatively affect the economy. However, it should be adjusted locally based on need, among other factors. This would allow students from poor communities to pay back a considerable portion of their college debt while in entry-level positions as they search for higher-level position openings where they could reliably pay back their debt without government intervention. The minimum wage should always be a livable wage for the employee.
@8JMDM4L4yrs4Y
depending on the job but i think it should be a lot more than only 11.50, but as wage goes up so do prices.
@8LRF6NZ4yrs4Y
Yes, following the rate of inflation. With less government cuts from the income the employee would be getting.
@8RM3NHC4yrs4Y
Yes, but make it a living wage and also adjust every year according to inflation/the cost of living
@8XNYRS93yrs3Y
They should do it depending on what you do.
