Ontario's minimum wage rose Tuesday to $17.20 an hour.

It's an increase of 3.9 per cent from $16.55 an hour.

The Ontario Living Wage Network says the increase continues to lag behind the cost of living in Ottawa.

Spokesperson Craig Pickthorne presented the OLWN's arguments on Newstalk 580 CFRA's Ottawa at Work with Patricia Boal.
