was to create a fair and stable economic climate for all of us Guidelines were established for the control oi pnees profits incomes dividends and professional fees The federal government established a policy of spending restraint The provinces are supporting the program and are applying guidelines in areas of provincial concern such as rents The target of the first year of the anti inflation program was to bnng inflation down from a 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 pnees are rising faster than their family incomes For most of us 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 salanes on average are keeping ahead of pnees Prices Last year sudden and frightening increases were happening all too often By October Canadians had 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 nse in giving Canadians a better chance to plan and live within their family budgets Pnce increases have slowed down By August the annual rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index had dropped to 6 Although some pnce increases have to be expected this month and next the 8 target will surely be met Wages The anti inflation program has also helped to restrain increases in wages salanes and other incomes The Guidelines on compensation allow for a basic increase of 8 plus 2 as a share of national productivity growth Another 2 can be added or subtracted depending on whether a group had kept up with or fallen behind cost of living increases before the program began More than half of the agreements and settlements reported to the Inflation Board have been within these anthmetc 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 less won hurt them The real gains Since the start of the inflation program the average Canadian has actually improved his or her buying power This is because lower wage increases along with lower pnce increases have resulted a gain in real incomes The real gain is worked out by taking the actual increase in earnings and subtracting from it the effects of higher consumer pnees 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 real incomes were up 3 6 over last year Before hi nmpaiDd he same ported AVEFIAQE After Ma in WEEKLY EARNINGS 143 IN DEAL 129 EARNINGS 36 30 Controls on both pnees and incomes are part of the reason why the inflation rate is dropping The cooperation and hard work of most Canadians is the rest of the story We will soon be moving into the second year of the program with a goal of lowering the inflation rate to 6 or less together we can reach this target too I Government Gouvemement of Canada Canada THEANTI- INFLATION PROGRAM AREVEW YEAR ONE L
