Should the government enforce a cap on CEO pay relative to the pay of their employees?

This policy would limit the amount a CEO can earn compared to the average salary of their employees. Proponents argue that it would reduce income inequality and ensure fairer compensation practices. Opponents argue that it would interfere with business autonomy and could discourage top executive talent.

No, but companies in Federally Regulated Sectors, companies that bid of Federal Projects, and companies that receive federal funding or subsidies must have a wage system in place that keeps all wages at pace with inflation

No, but require that companies disclose the CEO salary and its ratio to that of other workers

 @B9W6V7Sfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

No, but only on the premise that employees are getting paid for real work instead of relations and fairly.

 @B3XK2RMfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

It depends on the company and what the CEO actually does. Do they pay their employees a fair living wage? If so, no. If employees are not paid well, then yes
