The Ontario Liberal government is set to announce changes to the province’s labour laws as well as an increase in the minimum wage.
Premier Kathleen Wynne and Labour Minister Kevin Flynn are scheduled to make the announcements Tuesday morning.
The labour law changes are expected to help make work more stable and ensure equal pay for equal work.
The minimum wage is currently $11.40 an hour but Wynne would not confirm if her government is planning on raising the amount to the $15 unions have been calling for.
The expected changes to the labour laws come just days after a government-commissioned report made 173 recommendations for creating better workplaces and working conditions.
Some business groups have voiced their concerns about the cost to business of the potential labour law changes and a higher minimum wage. But Wynne says the Liberals plan to work with the business communities on measuring the impact of the changes.
