Possible question

I agree that Trevor's question is quite good, and also agree with the fact that it would be better as a two-part question. In response to Andre, I unfortunately think we're only allowed this one thread to work with, which is unfortunate.

In response to the topic of minimum wage, perhaps we could also ask something along the lines of "do you think the amount of minimum wage and its variation across provinces directly is responsible for varying levels of poverty?" or something along those lines. I know it's poorly worded, but just an idea.

Since there are so many factors that cause different levels of poverty from province to province, I think the question should be something along the lines of "how impactful is the minimum wage and its variation across provinces on the level of poverty in each province"? a) very high b) somewhat high etc... Simple yes or no questions can make it seem like there's only one thing (minimum wage in this case) that causes poverty.
