IMO opinion these are not jobs that are great for the economy, they ADD very little to the economy, but are more a result of a great economy. You can't build an economy on a foundation of burger-flippers, but on well educated group of youth? That is another story

I would assume that with a statement like this you would have some supporting evidence showing how enrollment in higher education has decreased and that classrooms are half full with tuition being slashed in order to attract more students... or maybe not?
Lets face it Ralph made some tough choices that have worked out well for the province (lets see... in the province with the lowest minimum wage the McDonalds by my house is offering $9/hr full time).
Ralph would be wise to light the fuse and let the Province know when he will bow out.
