The Ontario government wants to review Bill 148, which mandates equal pay for part-time and temporary workers doing the same job as full-time workers, increases sick day benefits and paid vacation and increases the minimum wage from $14 an hour to $15 on Jan. 1, 2019.

The law that raised minimum wage also established rules that introduce pay inequities among part-time workers, small businesses say.

Sounds like day one of the provincial government's committee hearings on the "Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act" was a bit of an eye opener.
