Manitoba Keeps Minimum Wage At 2.95 A Hour For Now
Labour Minister Norma Price announced Manitoba will maintain the current 2.95 per hour minimum wage for the present period, aligning with Canada overall. The rate will be reviewed in four to six months, as other provinces show higher figures such as Ontario 2.65 and Newfoundland 2.50, with Alberta and British Columbia at 3.00 and Quebec at 3.15. The Manitoba Minimum Wage Board had proposed indexing to 60 percent of the industrial average earnings, which would have raised the rate to 89.29 per hour, but the government opted to avoid leading the nation.
