Thanks very much.
While Mr. Weston couldn't be here today, unfortunately, I want to read some of his words to start:
I continue to be a strong believer in a progressive minimum wage and would support any government-led effort to establish a living wage.
I'll go around to the three of you. Yes or no, do you agree with that statement?
I'll start with Ms. Davis.

I think, Honourable Erskine-Smith, that living wage, basic income and minimum wage is a great discussion to be having, but I'm not sure any of you or even your parties would agree on those terms or even define some of it the same way—

Mr. Medline, we committed to a $15-an-hour minimum wage in our platform, so I think you'll find that we do agree.

Sorry, is the minimum of $15 the living wage? I was looking for that in your platform. Is that a living wage everywhere in the country, $15?

We committed to a $15-an-hour minimum wage, far above what you pay your employees, Mr. Medline, across the country.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
My question is for Ms. Davis.
On June 11, your chief executive officer, Mr. Weston, stated the following on behalf of your company:
I continue to be a strong believer in a progressive minimum wage and would support any government-led effort to establish a living wage.
What is a living wage?

What he was referring to is that we believe in a progressive minimum wage. What I said in my opening remarks, and what Mr. Weston was referring to, is that we would be very pleased to work with the government on determining what a living wage for the various areas of Canada would be. We would support that and we would work with the government on that.
Our comment would be that it can't be one company that determines a living wage. It can't be one industry. It has to be done in consultation between the government, the companies and of course the unions as well.

Right, but then ultimately everybody has the same level of appreciation. If you really wanted to show your employees you value them, why not make it more than your competitors? Particularly if your company philosophically believes in a basic liveable income, why do you need to wait for the government to legislate around it?

As I said before, the reason I'm saying we would want to do it in concert with the government and with the unions is that it can't be done by just one company, by just one industry. We're competing against large multinationals, large e-commerce companies, so it's just not feasible for one company to do it on its own. We need to do it together, as a group, with the government.

I can assure you that the people who are working as cashiers don't think this is normal. They're just as concerned going into work every single day. That, to me, would seem to be the reality we're faced with.
Now, in that statement by Mr. Weston, it says, “I continue to be a strong believer in a progressive minimum wage”. That's something you've echoed as well. You keep telling us that, if the government provides some guidance and there's some co-operation that takes place and you're not the only company, you would agree to better wages.
However, if memory serves, in 2017, when the Province of Ontario was thinking of increasing the minimum wage, I understand that your company was very much against that. Is that not right?

No, that is not true. Our company was not against the minimum wage. Our company was against the speed at which it was being implemented.
