Ld TOTAL EXPORTS SHOW SHARPER RISE IN 1965 oe arse GROWTH RECORD - BREAKING By HON. 8. J. RANDALL Minister. of Economics and Development for Ontario The record-breaking expan- sion of the Province of On- dario in 1965 is being car- ried by strong economic cur- rent into the new year. Last year, emplovment, in- come, and production all reached new peaks. Overall expansion, measured by in- crease in Gross Provincial Product, was 9.1 per cent, with over 6 per cent of this representing growth in real terms. Unemployment was cut to 2.3 per cent of the working force, and capital spending at $4.4 billion was up 20.6 per cent over 1964 figures. As Oshawa is Canada's largest automotive production centre, you will be interested to Know inai ine automotive free trade agreement now in force will have a decided growth effect on the Ontario economy during 1966. And this year higher incomes and gen- erally favorable conditions should account for continued advances in durables manu- facturing. In 1966, the limit of growth will be determined by in- crease in the labor force and improvements in productivity. Productivity, or output per worker in Ontario, increased by about 3 per cent last year. Assuming a wise of about 2 per cent in Productivity and a 3 per cent rease in the labor force in 1966, we should obtain a potential growth rate of about 5 per cent. --Senade's--_tete!._exnarte in 1966 should show a sharper rise than in 1965. New con- tracts have been signed for the sale of wheat and wheat flour to the Soviet Union. It appears that the United States economy will remain buoyant in 1966, which should ensure strong U.S. demand for Cana- dian materials and manufac- tured products, especially for motor vehicles and _ parts under the automotive agree- ment. DOMESTIC DEMAND The proportion of domestic demands satisfied by imports depends largely on the size of business investment in ma- chinery and equipment. It is not defintte how. business in- tends to allocate its funds between plant and equipment, but it is expected the propor- tion for-construction of new plants will rise. Imports should rise at a lesser rate than exports in 1966, contributing to an im- provement in the deficit on current account in the bal- ance of payments. Thus it is expected that total demand in the economy will rise by about 7 per cent in dollar terms and about 5 per cent in terms of volume. This means de- mand wil] match or fall only a little below potential. In summary, indications are that 1966 will be another year of prosperity for the people of Ontario. College Planning Forums.
