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, this prices out small businesses that cannot afford to pay workers and benefits large corporations like Amazon and Walmart. Additionally, small businesses make up a large portion of empoyers.
@92DRQZM3yrs3Y
You can raise it but not much, if it is raised I say raise it only a dollar or 2
@heatherdvdprincess4yrs4Y
Yes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Yes, make it a living wage and adjust it according to inflation regularly enough to keep it a living wage. Perhaps enough to make $24k a year when working full time.

I've heard of many people happily living on $7k per year despite having much more (even being rich). However, this does require some time to aquire skills for DIY. So $24k may be more reasonable for people without those skills.
@8HDMV9J5yrs5Y
No, but higher skilled jobs, including jobs that require higher qualifications, should be required to pay higher than the minimum wage
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
All minimum wages to be rounded out (e.g. $9.75 to $10)

No, and we should both lower the minimum wage and create deals with companies and industrial facilities to employ those who need a job.

States should be able to vote on the issue. Federalism is key.
@87LQY5Y4yrs4Y
No, abolish the federal minimum wage and let State governments set the minimum wages

Only if they are hard workers, not for lazy people.
@8TVLYN44yrs4Y
no because everything else will get highered
@8W4T3NJ4yrs4Y
No, however it should be mandated for each state government to raise the minimum wages respective to their cost of living. This should also be done for cities and localities with higher COL than the rest of their state.
@8WPC6BV3yrs3Y
Yes, I think that the federal minimum wage should be at least $10.00 per hour.
@8YDPL5D3yrs3Y
yes, but to a fair wage to sustain there self
@8YVYRH43yrs3Y
depends on the state and what your job is
