I would think any party would be right to bump the wage, $12.20 is not enough to live off in this province, is $15 too much? I still think it'd be tough to live off of but it's much better than the current amount, could prove to be too much though. But I still feel the issue wouldn't be as necessary to address if more companies that can afford to pay more would willfully do it, if it was only small businesses that were paying minimum wage, it would have a huge economic benefit. But unfortunately too many companies have put a strain on the system by trying to save in labour they can easily afford, so now changes need to be made to address that.
