Province to appoint minimum wage expert panel

The Alberta government is expected to appoint an expert panel to look at minimum wage in the province on Thursday.  Labour Minister Jason Copping is scheduled to make an announcement alongside University of Alberta economist, Joseph Marchand, to assess the province’s minimum wage at 1 p.m. at the McDougall Centre in downtown Calgary. The members of the panel or its timeline of work are not yet known, but it will have a few goals in mind as part of the UCP’s job creation strategy
