Ontario is a huge province with big regional differences between wages. We have some of the richest and most expensive cities in the country, and lots of poorer rural communities too. Imposing a single minimum wage on these disparate regions is a recipe for trouble.

And it shouldn't take a study to tell us that the side effects created by a wage floor become more pronounced the further the floor is below the market wage. This is like, micro 101… which is apparently out of the Premier's league.
