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, but companies should push for higher employee wages and billion-dollar companies should be required to pay $10.10 an hour at a minimum regardless of the task
@93YKQZL3yrs3Y
Abolish the federal minimum wage and make it a local or state issue. Create guidelines to ensure that state and local leaders cannot abuse the system to establish low wages for others.
