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.

Federal and provincial minimum wage should be increased to a living wage. Minimum wage for youth should be lower to incentivize remaining in school.
@B4BHWCJ3wks3W
Yes, and support education campaigns for companies on the value of wage increases for employees such as retention and performance.
@8XT62NF3yrs3Y
No, reduce the price of living instead
@8VC3VFK4yrs4Y
Lower cost of living so minimum wage wont have to go up as much and still be capable of supporting a family
@8V742P24yrs4Y
Minimum wage should be $0.
@8TWYK3L4yrs4Y
All wages should be increased, not just minimum wage. At this rate, everyone will be working minimum wave, while cost of living keeps increasing.
@8RR4GCL4yrs4Y
Keep it the way it is now
@8CGFTL25yrs5Y
We need a higher wage in order to provide shelter and food for our families (i personally make minimum wage and cannot live on my own - I live with family cause the cost of living is so high)
@8C5FWJK5yrs5Y
yes, make it a livable wage, but we need to end the cycle of the minimum wage increasing everything else.
@99MFRYJ2yrs2Y
Federal Government should do so, Provincial Government should do so for the minimum wage within the province and not just provincial and federal workers
@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
