I don’t have live access to the latest news in this turn. Here’s what’s commonly reported recently about Quebec's minimum wage, based on the latest broadly available summaries:
As of 2025, Quebec’s general minimum wage was raised to $16.10 per hour, with a 35-cent increase that year. This brought the wage in line with inflation expectations for 2025-26, though debate continues about whether it adequately supports low-income workers. [Source summaries in 2025 reporting]
There has been ongoing discussion from multiple parties about further increases (e.g., proposals to push toward $20/hour or closer alignment with living wage benchmarks), but no formal, immediate legislative jump beyond the announced 2025 adjustment. [News commentary from 2024–2025]
Wage changes also affect tipped workers and special programs, with minor adjustments often accompanying the main rate, and government communications emphasize balancing worker purchasing power with business viability. [Policy briefs and press coverage around 2024–2025]

The Quebec government announced a $0.35 increase to the minimum wage, effective May 1, 2025. While this increase raises the general minimum wage to $16.10 per hour, it doesn’t apply in the same way to all minimum wage workers.
