Campbell Calls Wage Increase A Good First Step

The MPP for Kenora Rainy River is weighing in on the increase to the minimum wage.

It's to go up to $11 an hour this summer with future increases based on the cost of living every October.


Campbell says the increase will be good to the province's lowest wage earners, but businesses are also facing financial challenges and may need some help of their own.

Campbell does note that small business owners at a pre-budget consultation in Thunder Bay indicated they did favour the wage increase.
