Earlier this month, the Ontario government appointed an advisory panel to give advice on the province’s minimum wage. The advisory panel will examine Ontario’s current approach to setting the minimum wage and provide advice on how the province should determine changes to the minimum wage in the future. More information on the Advisory Panel is available here: Minimum Wage Advisory Panel.

The Advisory Panel is inviting the public to provide feedback and comments on a consultation paper. Submissions are due October 18, 2013. More details are available here.
