    Minimum Wage Rises to $16.10 in Quebec

    As of May 1, the minimum wage in Quebec is seeing another increase, rising from $15.75 to $16.10 per hour.

    The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is among the many organizations that have responded to this 2.2% increase, which will represent an additional annual cost of $838 per employee earning minimum wage for businesses, including $110 in payroll taxes.

    For the group, “this remains an added expense contributing to the pressure on costs due to the trade war with the United States,” as stated in a press release.

    However, the CFIB is pleased that the government rejected the proposal to raise the minimum wage to $20 per hour, which, according to a recent study, would have cost Quebec $10 billion and “risked putting many businesses in jeopardy.”

    Nearly 60% of people affected by the minimum wage are under the age of 25, and a similar proportion works part-time.

    Not Enough

    For its part, the Collectif pour un Québec sans pauvreté (Collective for a Poverty-Free Quebec) denounces what it calls a “paltry increase” of $0.35 to the hourly minimum wage.

    It notes that this is an increase below the 2024 inflation rate of 2.4% and the smallest minimum wage hike recorded in the past 10 years.

    “This is clearly insufficient,” said Serge Petitclerc, spokesperson for the Collective, in a statement. “This decision condemns workers to live in poverty, despite having full-time jobs.”
