                                            Minimum Wage in Canada

                 I would compare today the minimum wage across Canada`s provinces.
A minimum wage is the basic labour standard that seats the lowest wage rate an employer can pay to employees who are covered by the legislation. I live in British Columbia and according to my research  our province had $10.25 general wage in 2015. It is more than in Alberta $10.20 and Saskatchewan $10.20 but it less than in Manitoba $10.70, or Ontario $11, or Quebec $10.55, or Yukon $10.86. The lowest wage rate has provinces such as Alberta and Saskatchewan $10.20, British Columbia  and Newfoundland $10.25, New Brunswick $10.30. The highest wage rate has provinces such as Nunavut and Ontario $11, Northwest Territories $12.50. By the way Employment legislation in Canada forbids to pay workers less than the minimum wage.
