Dear Editor
My name is Isabelle Zhan and I live in Burnaby. I think we need more jobs that pay enough for survival needs.
Firstly, why I want you to do this is because many people have a very low pay. Then afterwards they can’t afford for food and rents because rents are extremely expensive.
Secondly, how you can do it is by raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, so that way people have $2,400 per month instead of $1,640.25 per month. This way people will have enough money to survive.
Thirdly, what could happen, if we don’t do it, there will be many people becoming poor or homeless, however, if we do it people will have enough money to survive.
As a result I think we need more jobs that pay enough for people to survive.
