Chamber prez wants more input on wage rate

The President of the Chamber of Commerce is stopping short of condemning Wednesday's minimum wage increase in the province. Harold Wilson says he'd like to see the government allow more input before setting the rate.   That would include taking into account the economic issues are at any given time.  He'd like to see it planned out as opposed to be dictated by the province.  As of Wednesday the minimum wage in the province will be $10.25 an hour.
