Canada's federal minimum wage rises to $17.75 on April 1, aiming to combat rising living costs.

Canada's federal minimum wage will increase to $17.75 per hour on April 1, marking a 2.4% rise. This adjustment aims to keep up with cost of living increases and benefit part-time, temporary, and low-wage workers in federally regulated sectors.
