The P.E.I. government has announced two more increases to the minimum wage for the coming year.

In a news release Wednesday morning, the province announced the wage would increase from $15 to $15.40 on April 1, and then to $16 on Oct. 1, following a recommendation from the Employment Standards Board.

The wage moved to $15 on Sunday.

Neither poverty advocates or business interest groups are happy with recent movements in the minimum wage.
