Minimum wage is going up to $13 50, but advocates are calling for $15 an hour

  QUEBEC A coalition of 215 community groups are demanding the Legault government increase the minimum wage to $15 per hour. “It’s a question of social justice, a question of dignity,” said Marc-Edouard Joubert, president of the Federation of Workers of Quebec. The provincial minimum wage is currently $13.10 per hour. Compared to the other provinces and territories, Quebec sits in seventh place. Nunavut has the highest minimum wage in the country, at $16 per hour. Following that are Alberta ($15), BC ($14.60), Ontario ($14.25), Yukon ($13.71), and the Northwest Territories (1$3.46). In a joint statement, the groups criticized the Legault government, saying many essential workers rely on food banks because they can’t afford the cost of food.
