As Alberta's minimum wage is set to increase from $13.60 to $15.00 per hour by October 1, 2018, the a business lobby group has called on the province to freeze the minimum wage at its current rate of $13.60 per hour.

Thanks to the producers of Alberta Primetime for having us on the show to discuss this very important issue. You can view the full segment at the link below.
