Deutsch presents economic Council s first report Ada s first venture in advisory Board economic planning said bluntly that the country has fallen Well Short of its economic potential in recent years. It set this potential for 1965-70 As a target rather than a fore cast a 50 per cent increase in total real output from 1963 to 1970, with a gain of More than 20 per cent in real per capita income. This would mean an economic growth rate of 5.5 per cent a year or 3.4 per cent in per Cap Ita terms. Productive gains of 2.4 per cent a year for each employed person Between 1963 and 1970. This would compare with gains of one per cent a year from 1956 to 1963 when the potential growth estimated by the Council was 1.9 per cent. Not binding the report is not binding on either government or Industry. However it is expected to set the tone of Gen eral economic policy in Canada Council continued report suggests caution on prices Over the past decade for example the average annual increases in consumer prices and in prices of All goods and services produced in Canada were 1.4 per cent and two per cent respectively but there have been some moderate year to year variations around these rates. The Council cautioned that a continuation of this performance into the future would be a very difficult task especially under historically excessive pres sures of demand such As those steering from War finance or undue monetary expansion have almost invariably been reflected in substantial Price increases. It is important to recognize also said the Council that the Strong demand conditions which Are required to attain High Levels of output and employment also tend to exert upward pressures on prices. The Council warned of the continued this would require civilian pm a the Snow like chocolate ice Cream ploy ment to increase from a search efforts were delayed Topping.

In essence the Broad picture i presented by the current tech 3 emphasis was placed by no logical change shows that it the on the need for urgent and prompt improvement in the Field of labor Market policy. There is a need for coordinating labor Market activities under the National employment service. This will require improvement in qualifications of staff personnel at both the is pervasive and Complex and consists of a combination of Many ways of achieving improvement and Progress. It also poses rapidly Chang ing problems and tasks for labor management co opera was avoid excessive with Short term cyclical behaviour and to attune policies More consistently to longer term views of basis econ level of taxes and spending that would be roughly in balance if the Economy were operating at its potential output. Two objectives govern ment taxing policy must have two objectives the Council said first it must be designed to promote adequate growth of total demand in the Economy As a basis for attaining High pm and second it must be vitally concerned with the Impact of the tax system on the competitive position of Canadian pro Omi c conditions and trends. Long planning 8 there must be the development of longer Range plan Ning by government business enterprises and other organizations on the basis of substantially improved economic Intelli gence tailored to the particular needs of both Public and private programs and policies. 9 much greater resources must be provided for the Domin Ion Bureau of statistics. The Council said it was vitally important that g eneral education and training should be Given a very High priority in our economic system. Canada is expected to have a More rapid rate of labor Force growth during the 1960s than any other industrially advanced countries in the Western world. There is a Prospect of an unprecedented addition of Over one million persons to the labor Force Over the five years 1965 to 1970. The question of Canada s Trade relationship with the developing countries deserved special men Tion said the Council. They need Trade not Aid. Canada can participate in this development through its policy on imports from these countries there is also a need for a vigorous Effort to support the developing econ this implies among other things the need for removing or avoiding the use of partic ular fiscal measures which National and local nes offices i Mies with trained personnel.

A determined approach by can u u y returns to the nation in the form Adian exporters supported by sex of higher employment higher j port credits could make a major productivity better Price Stabil Ity and an improved competitive position. 4 in its analysis the coun cil postulated the maintenance of a reasonable degree of Price and Cost stability in the years Ion run contribution to the successful development of these potentially Large markets.

Along with their associated processing industries they continue to account for a very High proportion of Canada s exports. In 1963 they accounted for three quarters of All Merchan Dise exports and their importance is Well known in Canada s International accounts. But As a group the primary industries have been declining relatively As a direct source of employ i units ment As other parts of Economy have grown More rapidly.

Strong pressure Strong pressure can be expected to hold Down or even halt this kind of change the Council said. Governments would be urged significantly relative to the output of the whole Economy.

The decline in the relative income of Farmers compared with the Early Post War years cannot be attributed to a slow rate of increase in productivity in the agricultural sector. Productivity in agriculture while lower than in some industries has increased More rapidly than in the remainder of the econ omy. The dominant Factor in the relative decline of farm income has been a worsening in the terms of Trade of Canadian agriculture. This has been not Only True of Canada there has been a smaller increase in world Trade and in prices of primary products than has occurred for processed materials and manufactured goods said the Council.
