Canada's
Economic
Picture

CLOSING
YEAR
1046
brought
on
Canada's
THE
reconversion
worries
in
a
rush.
At
the
year
end
conditions
are
taking
a
more
definite
peacetime
form,
but
war's
hangover
still
leaves
its
imprint
on
the
lives
of
Canadians,
There
are
still
shortages
necessitating
continued
rationing
of
some
foods
sugar,
meat,
butter;
many
other
goods
are
in
short
supply;
but
employment
and
income
are
at
a
high
level
and,
on
a
domestic
plane
at
least,
Canada's
outlook
for
1947
is
bright.
Inflation
remains
a
major
government
worry
and
is
slowing
down
the
gradual
decontrol
policy
adopted
immediately
afterHhe
war.
Expectations
are
that
as
production
can
be
accelerated
with
the
possibility
that
few,
if
any,
will
remain
at
the
end
of
the
year.
Housing
difficulties,
present
throughout
the
war,
reached
new
heights
as
veterans
returned
and
fought
homes.
Particularly
in
larger
centres
the
problem
is
acute.
Construction
of
new
homes
is
hampered
by
shortages
of
skilled
workers
and
materials,
with
strikes
contributing
to
the
material
shortages.
Nails
have
become
as
precious
as
though
they
were
made
of
valuable'
metal.
The
1946
target
of
.60,000
new
homes
fell
short
by
between
5,000
and
10,000
but
Reconstruction
Minister
Howe
predicts
1947
will
bring
the
greatest
building
activity
the
country
has
ever
seen.
.
The
high
level
of
income
that
was
maintained
in
1946
more
than
doubje
that
of
1939
adds
to
the
inflationary
threat
with
a
shortage
of
goods
to
soak
up
the
available
spending
power.
High
production
holds
promise
of
the
best
protection.
Price
control
has
been
eased
during
the
year,
particularly
on
goods
regarded
as
non-essential,
and
living
costs
have
risen
noticeably
but
there
is
no
evidence
of
an
immediate
abandonment
of
price
control.
Wage
control,
on
the
other
hand,
is
on
the
way
out.
Winding
up
tag
ends
of
war
business
was
a
major
government
activity
of
the
year.
War
contracts
were
reviewed
to
determine
whether
profits
had
been
xecessiye
and
re-negotiation
of
contracts
returned
$400,000,000
to
the
Dominion
treasury.
Sale
of
surplus
war
materials
.wjll
have
passed
its
peak
by
the
end
of
the
year
but
is
continuing
at
the
rate
of
$20,000,000
a
month,
with
total
sales
in
excess
of
$300,000,000.
-Thus,
with
the
year
of
reconversion
ended,
the
way
seemed
paved
for
concentration
in
1947
on
shaping
Canada's
war-found
strength
for
its
first
real
test
in
a
competitive
world
field.
