A ban on employment

Re: “Meddling with wages,” Editorial, April 22.

It is confounding that, simply because it is easier for somebody to live on $15 per hour than $12 per hour, Premier Rachel Notley believes it is acceptable to prohibit people from seeking employment at wages below $15.

This ban on lower-wage employment is effectively a ban on employment for anybody whose hourly productive capacity is exceeded by $15. Matthew Lau, Toronto, Ont.
