Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The minimum wage is set out in the Labour Standards Act, and from the information I have in my binder, it is set at $6.50 an hour for those over 16 and $6.00 for those who are under 16. In order to make a change or amendment to the minimum wage, it would require a change in the legislation. Thank you.
