Premier Kathleen Wynne is announcing a plan to increase the minimum wage in Ontario to $15 an hour.

Currently, the minimum wage is $11.40 an hour.

In an interview with CBC News, Wynne said the provincial economy is doing well enough to handle a significant wage boost.

• How a $15 minimum wage would affect Ontario
• Could $15 minimum wage and paid sick days eliminate jobs? Yes, say small business stakeholders

The premier is also announcing several other reforms to workplace regulations.

The reforms will address issues like annual paid vacation time, equal pay for part- and full-time workers doing the same job, and unions in retail and fast-food settings.
