Commentary

• CLC has charmed in to say there is 100,000 workers that are paid minimum wage - http://canadianlabour.ca/news/news-archive/why-canada-needs-federal-minimum-wage

• It does seem the NDP is using CLC numbers, but they do not align with stats - • Source - http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/fact-check-ndp-and-liberals-on-the-15-minimum-wage-1.2517664 • Source - http://thetyee.ca/News/2015/08/11/NDP-Federal-Minimum-Wage/. NDP source says it 100,000

worker, but no stats to back up claim. We all know the NDP inflate their numbers to look good to their sheep

• Source - http://globalnews.ca/news/2151323/reality-check-does-the-ndp-minimum-wage-plan-leave-out-99-of-minimum-wage-earners/

• We all know the “100,000 level” was done on purpose to play to low informed voter! It seems

my sources which includes about 5 have a different take than CLC. CLC is labor group so we all know they will push pro-NDP policies including skewing the numbers
