Thank you, Mr. Speaker. An issue was raised today by another Member and I’d like to follow up in a different direction. I believe the questions were to the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment regarding the minimum wage adjustments. I had industry contact me and wanted to make sure that some of their concerns were articulated. One of their concerns is if you adjust minimum wage, has the Minister investigated the impact that would have on the potential younger workforce that they would generally hire. The reality is that many of these younger workers would probably be cut and lost if minimum wage is adjusted. Has the Minister investigated that type of perspective in this analysis?
