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.

Again a matter for provincial government not federal. What the Federal government should do is enact a UBI...
@B2SX7XJ2mos2MO
Minimum wage should be a livable wage for an individual but we need to invest in public daycare, work education, trade schools etc and give people a road map to a better life.
@9D8PLJBConservative2yrs2Y
It should be raised every 40 months
@96JGN833yrs3Y
I t won't change anything sine provinces have there own
Yes, but I want my salary raised in proportion to their job.
@935T7R93yrs3Y
Yes, minimum wage should be able to support an individuals basic needs and more, regardless of their education, experience, or title.
@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.
@8XKT3BG3yrs3Y
No, Abolish minimum wage and enact an Anti-exploitation act
@8XKR49G3yrs3Y
Yes, but raise everyone's salaries
@8WZQ4HTConservative3yrs3Y
No, this is a provincial matter
@8WPGV4D3yrs3Y
it should increased according to inflation
@8VQWVYKConservative4yrs4Y
No there’s not reason taxes will just go up
@8VH2TZWConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but it must be adjusted to inflation and nothing else. Raising minimum wage too high will have detrimental effects on the local economy as local businesses will not be able to compete with multinationals like Amazon and Walmart. Businesses shouldn't be allowed to offer an automated self checkout either. This eliminates jobs
@8VDDTMZ4yrs4Y
Last i checked it was provincial
It’s a provincial matter
@8VBBWDK4yrs4Y
Low wage jobs are important for young people to get experience, but a minimum wage linked to experience with more job protects could be good
@8V77MBN4yrs4Y
Lower but with UBI and adjust for inflation
@8V5KQDG4yrs4Y
Yes and eliminate welfare completely
@8V2VR3VConservative4yrs4Y
No, not until the wage of post secondary education diplomas increase.
@8V2DH6S4yrs4Y
Yes and offset the cost to business by reducing corporate income tax
@8TSGHX94yrs4Y
No, the government should enforce a maximum wage defined by as a multiplier of the company's minimum wage.
@8SJVZV74yrs4Y
No, it should be a provincial jurisdiction of power
@8R28YGL4yrs4Y
@8PMZ5GC4yrs4Y
It needs to be a living wage. Since prices will always continue to rise, so raising minimum wage according to inflation will keep it at a living wage.
@8PLSR3B4yrs4Y
If minimum wage goes up than prices for things will go up as well I think prices should go down and wage either stays the same or goes up
@8PJQWSR4yrs4Y
Yes, by only a little bit
@8D76KSS5yrs5Y
I believe it should be raised slightly. Perhaps it could be adjusted based on age too.
@mrmustacheo5yrs5Y
No, but municipalities should be encouraged to set their own minimum wage in line with their cost of living
@8TZ7JS84yrs4Y
No, but add services to support those who can’t live off the minimum wage
@98WZ87R2yrs2Y
They should adjust the minimum wage any time the cost of living goes up or down to make it so that people can survive with a minimum wage
