News Release Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour REVISED / Government proposes to postpone next minimum wage increase20 July 2011 Media Contact(s) Marc Angers, communications, Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, 506-453-2537. FREDERICTON (CNB) – The provincial government is proposing to postpone the forthcoming minimum wage increase until April 1, 2012.
The announcement was made today by Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Minister Martine Coulombe.
“Our government has heard from small- and medium-sized businesses that they need time to adjust to the recent successive minimum wage hikes,” Coulombe said. “That is why we are proposing the minimum wage increase planned for Sept. 1 be postponed for seven months. This period will also enable us to continue to explore the idea of a two-tiered minimum wage.”
The minimum wage rose to $9.50 per hour in 2011 from $8 per hour in April 2009, an increase of nearly 19 per cent in two years. With the proposed amendment, it will reach $10 per hour on April 1, 2012.
"The draft minimum wage regulation will be posted today for a 30-day period so that the public and stakeholders can read it and give us their comments," Coulombe said. "This process is part of our government’s commitment to consult the people of New Brunswick.”
As required by the Employment Standards Act, the provincial government must get the advice of the Minimum Wage Board on the proposed amendment to the regulation.
"Despite the proposed delay, the provincial government is still working to achieve the objective in the provincial poverty reduction plan Overcoming Poverty Together: The Economic and Social Inclusion Plan, which is to increase the minimum wage to attain the Atlantic average and subsequently index minimum wage to the rate of inflation," said Coulombe.
