He forgot to point out that minimum wage is currently $11.60 which is already a huge increase... Increasing it by another 50% will make it even harder for employers to take on apprentices (or more staff).. it also doesnt take in to account the fact that the employer will have to match elevated EI and CPP contributions AND pay a higher vacation pay. All this will do is make people hire less and the people they do hire will all be classified as temp/part-time. Another brilliant idea by Wynne - if she was aiming for rapid inflation - shes on the right track.
