E-petition
Initiated by Leila Hogan from Coquitlam, British Columbia
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- The increase in wage inequality;
- The degradation of basic living standards for youth and seniors alike; and
- The inhibition of The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, "Section 7: right to life, liberty, and security of the person" as affected by an unliveable wage.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to implement a national minimum wage of $18.00 (Eighteen-Dollars and Zero Cents) to maintain the dignity, mental and physical health of minimum wage earners in Canada and to implement a program, whereby the national minimum wage will be subsequently increased every three years to reflect actual inflation. This proposed minimum wage of $18.00 will not be adjustable by the Provinces or Territories except in cases where a Province or Territory may increase the national minimum wage to reflect local economies.
