Are we now going to force businesses to lose money?

What’s next, would the labour market and unions like to take over management of all small business in Ontario? While most SME’s have had some time to prepare for the incoming minimum wage hike, the reality is many of them may be in a position where they are forced to make decisions financially to stay afloat.
