Okalik to announce changes to minimum wage

Premier Paul Okalik, the minister of justice, said last Thursday that he plans to announce changes to the minimum wage this month when the House resumes sitting in Iqaluit.

He made the comments after Baker Lake MLA Glenn McLean asked him if there would be increases to the minimum wage.

Okalik said the matter was discussed during a spring consultation.

MLAs resume sitting in Iqaluit on Nov. 19.
