The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is pleased to submit our views to the Ministry of Labour’s “Consultation Paper on Ontario’s Minimum Wage”. A significant number of our farm members will be directly impacted by future changes to the minimum wage structure.
Ontario’s agriculture sector is a major economic engine, providing jobs in both rural and urban communities. Ontario farms offer stability to our rural communities and represent an integral part of our social fabric by providing a healthy, safe food supply and contributing to environmental sustainability through the protection of soil, water and air resources.
