PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY JULY 13, 1983, WHITBY FREE PRESS '6 and 5' budget in retrospect by Pauli Cosgrove Minister of Finance A year ago last week your National govenment brought down what ta now referred hi as the "16 and 5"' Budget. Without economlic controls, wlthout ripping apart the social prograqus tt mark Canada as a humane soclety, we Cainadians bave cut our inflation rate E- - - -- from 12 per cent to 5.4 per cent hi one year, a ten - year low. In addition to the reduced Consumer Price index, Statlstics Canada reports that average annual wage gains moderated to 5.9 per cent in the ffrst tbre montha of 1963. .Wblle we stifi bave a long way to go curent job creation trends are moving i the right direction. Employment bas increased almost 34,000 between last November and May of this'year. In spite of a large Increase in the labor force, the unémployment rate declined to 12.4 per cent i May. And perhaps best of ail, the çost to produce Canadian goods dip- ped wlth a jumpi productivlty., .However, what bas been bard won by working higether can easily be thrown away if we forget bow we won it - by worklng higether. We cannot afford hi again enter the wage race as the economy goes inhi recovery. The price of such a move would be the recovery itseif, as Canadian goods lncreased in cost and priced themselves right out 0f the international markets we are dependent upon. To prevent this from happening the Minister of Finance will soon meet wlth bis provincial counter- parts hi, co-ordinate national and provincial actions.

We have also called upon the business leaders who, under the cbairmanship of Ian Sinclair, playec such a vital role In reducing infltion, hi, play an equallY vital role i transforming tbe budget incen- tives inhi tbe investments tbat wlll accelerate the creation of new jobs. We know wbat six and five bas done hi the economy. Now we sbould examine wbat it bas done hi Canadians. As columnlst Richard Gwyn recently pbrased it: "Once ail the pros and cons bave been totted up, wbat remains ta the cardinal fact that we are, as a people, bebaving differently than we were bebaving a year ago - i part because of six and five. "Tben we spent Most of our Urne yelllng at each other... Our national temper lias since cooled. We are learning again hi move witb eacb other. "It says sometbing about the underlying strengtb of our democracy that we were able hi make and hi iniplement our collective dectalon hi figbt in- flation." Bank of Montreal Chairman Willim Mulholland also gave the nod hi six and five stating: "It provided concrete targets and focus, and, I tbink, tended hi Marsbal Public opinion beblnd tbe notion tbat restraint ta respectable and even patriotic.", Tbis ta tbe chief reason your national government ta renewing ita comrnitment to tbe six and five program. Do we continue hi act as a nation? Have we tbe Winll h andle prosperity with the same co-operative spirit that we demonstrated in overcoming criais? I tbink the answer la yes. U N BY 10 « OUTMY4- e .* e - u - Symphony SOrchestra A season featuring tbe great and familiar com- S posers being performed by some of the top ar- tista iii the country has been announced by the Oshawa Symphony Or- chestra.
