TODAY: Quebec raises minimum wage by 50 cents to $15.75 per hour

As announced by the Quebec government on Feb. 1, minimum wage in the province has increased by 50 cents per hour to $15.75 today. This corresponds to a 3% increase in the minimum wage, which is less than the current rate of inflation of 3.6% in Quebec.

Québec Solidaire MNA Alexandre Leduc, who represents Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, called the announced increase “not sufficient” and “ridiculous.”

«Le salaire minimum est trop bas et tout ce que le ministre offre c’est 50 cents de l’heure. C'est ridicule. Ce n’est pas suffisant.» – Alexandre Leduc#PolQc #AssNat pic.twitter.com/NhvObtwNlU
