Karl Wirtz has been up nights thinking up about it.
He isn't sure the co-packing business he founded 24 years ago can survive Ontario's push to a $15/hour minimum wage.
"I'm absolutely praying they change their mind. I literally am praying," Wirtz tells NEWSTALK 1010.
Right now Ontario's minimum wage is $11.40/hour with a pre-planned bump next month to $11.60. The province plans to further increase minimum wage to $14 on January 1, 2018 and to $15 on January 1, 2019.
Today NEWSTALK 1010 launches a new series: "THE REAL COST OF MINIMUM WAGE". Over the next three days, we will take a closer look at what effect the government plan is likely to have on employers, workers and the broader economy.
