Mr. Speaker, I thank my NDP colleague for her fine speech.
She said that Canadians deserve a wage increase, because wages have stagnated across the country, and in some regions, they have even diminished.
I would like to know what she thinks of the situation facing people who work 40 hours a week in minimum-wage jobs and are raising a family and who, unfortunately, are still living below the poverty line.
Does she think the federal government should lead by example and introduce a $15 minimum wage for jobs under federal jurisdiction?
