Hike to $11 will solidify Ontario’s spot as one of highest rates in Canada
A teenager flipping burgers at the local fast food joint — this is the image most often evoked by organizations arguing about a raise in minimum wage.
For the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), this teen is the typical minimum wage earner. He lives at home with his parents, is upgrading his education and will only work a minimum wage job for a fixed period of time. While a wage hike will have no lasting effect on his life, it will have a significant impact on his employer.
