Mr. Chair, I was just reviewing some of the salaries that we can find online. A senior private makes around $4,120 a month. A basic corporal earns $4,714. Under the old rate at 75% they would be making around $3,535.50. Under the new charter they would go down, so for a senior private, we would take that $4,120 and multiply it by 90%, so they would be getting $3,708. There would be an increase of a hundred-and-some dollars, so they'd be better off.
