A year-ago, - • consumer prices were rising at a rate of 10.6%. By August 1976, that rate of some had' dropped to 6.2%. This fall some unavoidable increases in energy costs and municipal taxes will affect the rate of inflation. In spite of this, the first year target' of an inflation rate of no more • than 8% will be met. . • IncreaSes in all forms of incorn'eewages, salaries, fees, profits, dividends-are also being successfully restrained. On the 'average, prices. have gone up less than wages this year. This means tryit most Canadians can cope a bit better, w( have more bUying power than we had. before the progrdm began 2. 4. Th. goal of the second year of the anti- inflation program is to bring inflation down even.. further, t.-, no more them 6% This can be achieved only if in:.7reas,es in everything slow down together, In eur kind of market economy, prices have to be able to move up and down to some extent But the Inti-inflation program does put can effective restraint on prices by controlling profit . margins In the second year'the pfice dad 'profit controls • rre being changed to make the rules simpler .rid to apply restraint more fairly among different •::ompanies.

THE ANTI-11\-FLATION PROGRAM 7 This Guideline is designed 'to protect and improve the real income of working Canadians, while bringing c,own the rate of inflation. . All govern:met-AS are restraining their expenditures.The federal government is limiting . growth in its own spending to keep it in line with the overall growth of the Canadian economy This means that every day hard choices must be — made to limit new programs and trim old ones. These ciaoiceS are painfdl. But they hcrVe to be made if the government is, to restrain its costs and avoid contributing to inflation. ' Nobody likes controls.
