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, however minimum wage should be based on age and your situation. If you are living at home, you should not be making the same as someone who is on their own.
@9TDNKGQ7mos7MO
The cost of living is different in different provinces and territories, so the provinces and territories should set their own minimum wages. A federal minimum wage would be unfair to workers in the most expensive parts of Canada.
@9B2WXK42yrs2Y
you should earn your raise this life needs hard work
@95GZ4BC3yrs3Y
We should just fix the housing crisis instead.
@956CT2V3yrs3Y
if you are doing the same job, you should be paid the same regardless of age
@8VMB6WPNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation but also adjust the rate of inflation depending on the need of the worker and age bracket. A high school student doesn't need to be making $30/hr if that was the min wage.
@8QQZNMKConservative4yrs4Y
Yes, but to a very minimal amount.
@8PYQPWZConservative4yrs4Y
Should be based on their family. If it’s their only career, then yes. If not, then no
@Waterworks1234yrs4Y
No, let the state make or change the minimum wage.
@Waterworks1234yrs4Y
No, let the provincial make or change the minimum wage.
@8P784MT4yrs4Y
No, let the province decide, or create a provincial minimum wage.
@8CDDWXS5yrs5Y
Make it a living wage for people over 18 and keep it the same for people under 18.
@9959YK82yrs2Y
Coming with increased wages it just increases the economy which means our increase everything else such as food to power cuz it happened the same time a few years ago when we raised they didn't come to 15 dollars an hour when we did that prices for food and power went up increasing rages the right thinking it's just not the right answer
@98YDF852yrs2Y
I think it depends on the circustances. Depenidng on numerous factors such as if you are working to support yourself or your family or if you're just getting your first job and its main purpose is to develope experience it should be adjusted accordingly. It also depends on other factors such as inflation.
