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.

Raise minimum wage temporarily while making that publicly and widely known then work heavily on reducing and reverting inflation
it would be nice if they could raise it according to the living wage and inflation but its not sustainable if they do
No. Minimum wages should be adjusted based on regional living costs and should also be pegged to inflation.
Make it a living wage, but it should be a local responsibility and each city should determine its minimum wage, with a federal minimum wage of 12$ an hour.
Make a flat living salary for everyone
The wage of essentail workers should be raised.
it should be on what type of work it is if its a fast food then it should be lower and if its a high labor work it should be 14 to 16 for minimum wage. if they increase it every year all the food prices would keep going higher and higher.
I think they should raise it for people who live on their own.
Since the cost of living varies by province, so should the minimum wage. However, it should be at least moving toward a living wage.
The transition from a minimum wage job to a higher paying one should be more accessible to people
Minimum wage adjusted for age, past the age of majority, living wage. Below, a reasonable wage.
Dependent on whether your a student living at home or trying to raise a family/live off minimum wage.
No, provide tax incentives to companies willing to provide further training and experience for employees in order to get them more specialized or provide tax incentives to return to school.
No, but raise according to inflation

Min wage is the lowest pay before being considered slave wage. Min wage should reflect the level of skill, intensity and commitment ask for. Franchise businesses for example; should not be paying employees with exception of low intensity jobs like Walmart greeter.

Yes, but existing wages above minimum wage should also increase accordingly, before you know it you no longer are making a wage above minimum wage anymore.

Minimum wage should be determined by situation, whether it be needing income for raising a family, or an after school part-time job. There should be different options for minimum wage.
Yes but within reason. Companies can't afford to pay people if they raise it too much. if they don't rais it enough, people cant afford to live.
yes but we only need to raise it when inflation is high
No minimum wage change it to a living wage
