Ontario’s Labour Minister Laurie Scott said Wednesday the minimum wage will remain at C$14 an hour rather than rising to C$15 as planned by the previous Liberal government, the National Post reported. Ontario’s minimum wage increased from to C$14 per hour from C$11.60 on Jan. 1, drawing complaints from businesses and prompting some to raise prices and cut staff hours and employee benefits. The minister would not say whether the minimum wage would eventually go up, but only that the government was conducting consultations on the issue.
