If we look at the minimum salary in Canadian dollars, which is the official currency in Canada, we can see that, this year, it was 2,528.9 Canadian dollars and accordingly, the national minimum wage has been raised 105.7 Canadian dollars per month from the previous year, 4.36%. This increase is less than the CPI of 2021 which was 4.8%,and so workers, despite the raise, have lost buying power in the last year.
