THE WORKS& ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT . TOWN OF GODERICH a ON PROG Afterone year, the anti-inflation program is 'doing what its set out to do. ' The most important achievement has been the drop in the inflation rate. A year ago; consumer prices were rising •at,a rate of 10,.6%., u -se -1 -976, -that -rhe of increase -hack. - dropped to 6:2%. This fall some unavoidable ' increases,irlr energy costs and municipal taxes will affect the rate of inflation. In spite of this, the first year`targe of an 'inflation -rate of.no more than 8% will be met, Increases in all, forms of income -wages, salaries, fees,: profits, dividends -;are also being successful1riestlainec] Qn the aneragerprioes__ have gone up less than wages this year. This .means that most Canadians can cope a bit better, we have more buying power'than we had befdre theprogram began: •.- The goal of the second'year of the anti- inflation program is to bring inflation down even. • further, to no more than -6%. This- can be achieved only if increases in everything slow down together. In our -kind of market economy, prices have to be able to moveup and down to some extent. But the anti-inflation program does put an effective restraint on prices by` controlling, profit margins: In the second year, ,the price and profit controls are being changed to make .the rules simpler and to- apply"restraint More fairly among' different companies. They also include important incentives to encourage the investments the • country needs to make the economy grow and create new jobs for Canadians. New investment credits will make allowances for companyprofits re -invested to boost production and productivity T In the area of wages and salaries, the second year Guidelines limit increases to 6% as' a' protection against price. increases,with 2% more added as a share of national productivity. GoVernment Gouvernement of Canada du Canada This Guideline its designed to protect and improvethe 'real income of working Canadians, while bringing down the rate of inflation. All governments 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 lirriit new programs and trim old ones., These choices are painful.

And not the governments that have to enforce them. *But controls were and are: needed,- to bring inflation 'down and to assure a growing economy The program will be terminated by the. • . end of "197& Until'it is ended, the government is committed to making sure the controls Work hard to.bring about a continuing reduction- in the rate of inflation. Inflation has to be cut down. to protect our personal buying power, our savings and s pensions, and -jobs for Canadians. If .last_yeaf's - spiral of rising prices and incomes had . - continued, Canadian -made products would':• soon beunable to compete in world:markets. - Imports could easily undercut goods produced and sold here at hornet It's especially important for us to keep our prices and costs competitive with the United States, and on both counts the•. U.S. is still doing better than we are. Finally,. inflation also hurts investment. And when ." investment goes down, unemployment goes up.: After. a year of control's,• i-nflation has come down. Progress has been made, in protecting Canadian jobs and imppoving Canada's well- being: The success of the anti-inflation program so far has depended a great deal- on the do- , operation of Canadians. With continued co-operation, we can all look forward to sharing a more prosperous and growing economy. - • •
