The anti-inf lation'prograrn is nearlyone year old,. -. The prograin ,was announced last October: t14•and the Anti -Inflation Act was passed by° = Parliament in December. The goal was to create a fair and stable 'economic climate for all 'of us: Guidelines_were, established for the control of_: prices, profits, incomes; dividends and' professional fees. The federal government .established. -4a .policy of spending restraint. The ,.Provinces are supporting the program and_are.. applying, guidelines in areas of provincial concern such as -rents. • . - • I The target of the first year of the :. .. anti=inflation-program was to bring inflation. down from4 rate of 10:8% to 8% or less. This goal is going to be reached. Still, many.' Canadians ' are concerned about rising prices and may feel in fact that prices are rising faster than their family incomes. For most ofus, this is not the 'case: The facts prove that since the start of the program most of ,us are better.off than we were before because salaries, on average,are keeping ahead of prices. • Prices Last year, sudden and frightening price. increases were happening all too often. By October, 1975, Canadians had experienced 20 months of inflation of. 10% or -more.. No one could be sure how far the dollar earned one day would stretch the next: The anti-inflation program Was brought in to control the rise in' , • prices, givinT Canadians a better chance tb. plan and live within their family budgets..Price -increases have sl-cswed down. By. August, the annual rate of increase in -the Consumer Price . Index had dropped to 6.2%. Although some price increases have to be expeot'ed this month and next, the 8% target will surely be met. 'Wages The anti-inflation progrdm has also helped to restrailincreases in wages, salaries and other incomes. The Guidelines on compensation altow for a basic increase of 8%, plu,s 2% as a share of national productivity growt.. Another 2% can 111* Government Gouvernement of Canada • . du Canada be added or subtracted depending on whether a group had kept up with` or fallen behind cost of --living increases before the program began: Mote than half of the agreements and settlements reported to the Anti -Inflation Board have been within these arithmetic guidelines. A gradual downward trend in wage increases has started and it should continue. as more. Canadians .realize that because' of declining inflation, settling for Iess'won't hurt them. The real gains Since tie start of the -anti-inflation program, the average Canadian has actually improved • • his or h r*,,bbuyirig power. This.is because lower wage increases along with lower price increases • have.resulted in a gain in real ,incomes. The real gain is worked out by taking the actual increase in• earnings rind subtracting .from it the effects .of• higher. consumer ::prices. Real incomes are proba- bly the best measure of how we're doing, .of how we can manage to pay .our bills at home. By this • spring, real incomes were up 3:6% over last year.
