Thank you very much.
Are there any provisions for making the rise in the minimum wage quicker than the six months after royal assent?

Thank you for that.
I have just a brief comment, Mr. Chair, if you'll permit me. That was in the NDP's election platform for the last two elections, so it's good to see it there.

I was wondering, first, if I could get a list again of who you are saying this is applying to—which jobs? I know you're saying it's federally regulated private companies, but what was the list that you gave us?

You're suggesting that this minimum wage is tacked closely onto the inflation rate. What if inflation becomes exorbitant over the next little while under the impact of COVID?

If we would have, say, 10% inflation, then the wages would go up that much, and they would never come back down from that.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Your team has obviously done a SWOT analysis on this program. Do you have any numbers at all as to how many of those 26,000 jobs would no longer exist if this happens?

Thank you.
You've probably also heard the adage that a rising tide lifts all boats, and if we're going to increase the bottom end of the wage structure, everything else will increase proportionateley. At the end of the day, there won't be a net benefit because costs are going to rise. This is actually going to fuel inflation. What is your study on that showing you as a result?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Charter, thank you for your presentation. I have four tiny questions for you. They're so small I'm sure you'll be able to respond very quickly.
You had mentioned there are 26,200 federally regulated employees who would benefit. How many in total do we actually have? How big is the bucket? Could you start off with that?

Thank you.
In terms of the cost-of-living increase, Ms. Jansen had asked about inflation. Hopefully this never gets to 10%, but the way the legislation is written the increase would go to 10%. How is it different? As members of Parliament, we actually get an automatic cost-of-living adjustment every year as well. Is it written differently, or is it the same?

Do you know if that's the same as how it's written for members of Parliament in our annual increases?

Thank you.
What do you think the impact would be? I actually agree with this $15 minimum wage, which to Mr. Julian's comment was a promise in our Liberal platform and I'm glad that the NDP has followed us along.
What do you think the impact could be on other provinces that might have a minimum wage below $15?

I wonder if you looked at the impact this will have on small business—for instance, the local restaurant. Obviously if you're saying, okay, if you're federally regulated, you must get minimum wage, you must have looked at how much that will impact those that are not federally regulated.

I was actually talking about those outside federally regulated employment, but extra cost after a pandemic is a huge issue. I'm just wondering whether you looked outside the federally regulated sector, because obviously, if federally regulated employers are changing their minimum wage, that will impact those who are not federally regulated—small business, mom-and-pop shops.
