Manitoba's minimum wage not changing much, lowest in country

Manitoba is set to have the lowest minimum wage in Canada as of this fall.

Saskatchewan has announced it will raise its minimum to $13/hr in October, and to 15/hr two years after that.

Manitoba raises its wage according to inflation. The province has said it will rise in October from $11.95/hr to $12.35/hr.

The Manitoba Federation of Labour says having the lowest minimum wage in Canada will be embarrassing and leave many workers in poverty.
