Canada said to day Canada should return to true floating exchange rate The manipulated rate of the return to fixed rate will either result in re striction of our freedom to pur sue an appropriate monetary and fiscal policy or lead to the reimposltion of direct exchange controls such as we had during or immediately after the Sec ond World War he said at the banks annual meeting He also called fora reform of Canadas cntlro tax structure guided by an incentive tax pol icy and advocatedscttlng up royal commission on taxation as soon as possible Mr McLaughlin said Canada has had three types of float ing exchange rate since Septem ber 1050 when it was an nounced the Canadian dollar was to befreeto find its own level in the foreign exchange market The first type was truef floating rate which existed lie tween 1050 and December 1960 The dollars value was deter mlned solely by supply and de mand in the market aside from smoothing operations through the exchange fund account From December 19110 to last June 20 Canada7 had nudged floating rate he said There was no announcement of changed policy but the gov ernment downward pressure on the Canadian dol lar by the purchase of US dol lars in the open market Since the last budget brought down June 20 1961 Canada has had floating rate which the government has manipulated through public announcement or use of the exchange fund he said Whatever may be said of the wisdom of this manipulation as temporary measurehe said do not believe that anyone even among those who sug gested the original move from true floating rate really accepts
