Labour laws are Provincial. Feds stepping in goes against Provincial sovereignty.
Auntie Rachel in Alberta has mandated that by 2018 Alberta will have a minimum wage of $15 per hour. The first step towards that is a $1 per hour increase, in a month, October 1st. With regards to taxslave above, it will come from the end user. In Australia the minimum wage is about $18-20 per hour (no tips) and they pay $30 for fish and chips, $10 for a beer. The end user pays for the product, if they want it. Albertans will be seeing how auntie Rachel's program works and have 4 years in which to accept or reject her program.
I got the idea that Mulcair was going to get $15 for everyone from Prince Rupert to St. Johns and from Windsor to Grise Fjord.

The same ones that have to work on provincial holidays. There are a whole bunch. It takes a team of 500 bureaucrats to keep it all straight.
