hmm I like this quote but I hate how or Premier didn't give a date on when.. or how long we have to wait for $10/hr to be set up.
Quote:McGuinty says minimum wage will reach $10/hour
Canadian Press
BURLINGTON, Ont. ââ¬â Premier Dalton McGuinty says it's only a matter of time before Ontario's minimum wage reaches $10 an hour.
McGuinty says he campaigned in 2003 on getting the minimum wage to $8, and he's made that happen.
He says the minimum wage will go up again eventually, but it'll happen through steady, gradual increases.
McGuinty says the government needs to strike a balance between the needs of Ontario's low-income workers and the economy so that jobs aren't compromised.
The minimum wage went up by 25 cents today from $7.75.
Ontario's new rate is soon to be matched in Manitoba and Quebec, but still lags behind Nunavut's $8.50 an hour, and the $8.25 minimum wage in the Northwest Territories and Yukon.
