Message | A minimum wage provision would make basic goods and services unaffordable, increase inflation, as well as speed up the flight of local industries and businesses to other countries. |

Message | Although the NDP generally supports economically liberal policies, we believe that a minimum wage should be a right guaranteed to all workers regardless of the economic repercussions. If you are willing to work, you deserve to be able to live decently. |
