In addition, average weekly wages in P.E.I. were $63.56 com- pared to a Canadian average of $93.91. He said the per capita income is one definite measure of its ‘tax potential and with such low average wages it was apparent that tax revenues were not available to the provincial government.

Mr. Hellyer has_ indicated promotions won't be necessary: for pay increases, especially if there is big civilian demand for the man’s skill.

BUILT INTO PAY

The increasé for the pilots was not in the form of allow- ances but was built into. their basic pay structure. This means they will get bigger retirement pensions because allowances are not included in calculating pen- sion rates.- ;

Mr. Hellyer has said the ques tion of whether aircrew allow- ances for non-pilot aircrew will be included as part of pay for
