Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for the hard work she is doing on behalf of her community. We are focused on growing the economy and supporting Canadian workers. This is why the federal minimum wage is indexed to inflation with an increase to $18.15 on April 1, representing a 21% increase since 2021. These are steady, predictable increases that benefit workers. It is about fairness, stability and building an economy that works for everyone. Our new government is building Canada strong for all.
In the House of Commons on April 16th, 2026. See this statement in context.
