Capilano MP Ron H ntington has pinpointed
excessive B.C. wages costs as the major reason for

findings fellew a survey he recently underteok
with Otto Jelinek, Conservative ‘Party critic for
small business affairs, to determine what
problems stand in the way of B.C.’s economic

recovery.

Retarding factors common
to Canada as a whole, says
Huntington, include over-
regulation, lack of equity in
customs tariffs, tax disincen-
lives on Canadian industries,
the high cost of government
and falling Canadian produc-
tivity -- compared with rising
U.S. productivity.

But Huntington and Jeli-
nek discovered, in their talks
with numerous local groups,
one problem common to
industries in this province
that did not show up in other
regions of Canada: the high
cost of wages and fringe
benefits in B.C.
