Easter Thankoffering
Economy in Good Shape
Finance Minister John Turner
told the House of Commons that
Canada's economic record in 1973
outranks most countries in the
world. The Gross National
Product grew at a rate of 7.1%;
430,000 new jobs were created -
130,000 more than predicted in
the last budget; unemployment
declined to 5.6% as compared
with 6.3% in 1972.
Exports, housing starts,
business capital investment and
consumer spending all showed
substantial` gainsover 1972.
The minister said that "The
Canadian economy today is the
envy of the world."
Competition Policy
The federal government's
competition legislation was
reintroduced in the House of
Commons' by Consumer and
Corporate Affairs Minister Herb
Gray.
The bill would- forbid
misleading advertising and give
consumers protection on
guarantees and warranties.
Bread Prices
Following a request by
Consumer and Corporate Affairs
Minister Herb Gray, five bakery
companies across the country
have agreed to hold back on price
increases on bread.
Steinberg's, Weston, Corpor-
ate Foods, A & P and Safeway
will reduce their anticipated price
increases on bread by 1-2 cents.
This action is a direct result of a
recommendation by the Food
Prices Review Board.
More People Employed
Statistics Canada reported that
25,000 more Canadians had jobs
in February than a month ago.
The unemployment rat e,
seasonally adjusted, in February
remained unchanged at 5.5%
from January.
Pensions Go Up
Old-age pensions will increase
from $108.14 to $110.09 for single
persons and from $216.28 to
$220.18 from marrieds. This will
be their second quarterly increase t
since the federal government tied
old-age pensions to changes in
the cost of living.
Locomotive Sale
Prime Minister Trudeau said in
the House of Commons that the
federal government will ensure •
that the sale of 25 locomotives to
Cuba goes through. He will not •
allow U.S. laws to interfere.. %It
"-`The Canadian government
has the means to make sure that
this kind of deal which is to the
profit of Canadian companies
does go .through. We have the•
means to do it and we will
exercise those means."
