Minimumwage increases in other provinces have not led to job losses but rather have led to lower rates of poverty and higher productivity… A survey released by the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce found 85 per cent of its members actually support increasing the minimum wage and 56 per cent say the minimum wage should be at least $10 an hour. Even some B.C. Liberals now admit it was wrong to freeze the minimum wage for 10 years.
