From rabble.ca: The next election will be in 2015, said Mulcair, and the number 15 was a useful symbol for him. For the Conservatives, he said, 15 stands for less 15 per cent, the wage paid temporary foreign workers, 15 per cent less than the Canadian wage for the same job, an amount designed to drive down wages for Canadians workers. For the NDP, Mulcair said, 15 means $15 an hour, the federal minimum wage his party proposes to adopt. Mulcair pointed out that for the Conservatives, 15 stands for the wealthy 15 per cent of the population that will benefit from the income-splitting plan announced by the prime minister as part of his family tax cut proposals. For the NDP, said Mulcair, 15 stands for 15 dollars a day, the maximum amount parents would pay for child care in the national plan his party would bring in if elected.
