New tax system predicted

VANCOUVER (CP) — The progressive tax system,
under which Canadians pay more taxes as they earn more,
will make way for a flat-rate tax system in the 1980s, the
executive director of the Fraser Institute says.

“We will see a flat-rate tax, or at least the evolution of
the Canadian tax system in that direction, in this decade,”

The Fraser Institute released Isst week a " study on -

flat-rate tax proposals, which concluded that a flat-rate tax
can be equitable to taxpayers and “reduce the disincentive
to work and productivity imposed by the existing tax
system.”

The institute studies four proposals: a simple flat tax of
19.14 per cent with a flat exemption; a dual flat-rate tax
system with a 17-per-cent. tax on persons with taxable
incomes of ae to $24,000 and 24 per cent for those over

NOT SUPPORTED
But Kesselman said technical studies do not entirely

support this. Studies show that higher taxes create a work
disincentive for low-income groups but have very little effect
on the work behavior of high-income groups, who are
motivated by more than income alone.

_ Government revenues would fall slightly under
Pocklington’s and Evans's proposals, but Walker argued the
change would stimulate output and thereby increase the tax

SIMPLER SYSTEM. “Se

Kesselman said he also prefers a dual system, although
he would start witha higher kick-in than Walker's proposed
$24,000. “I also would be open-minded about higher rates,
like above 35 per cent,” he said.

A world-wide economic re-

poration a power surplus it

forecasting seminar spon-
sored by Simon Fraser Uni-
versity this week.

Failure to do so will result
in the costs of the $1.6-billion

But, as it is, Hydro is faced
with a large surplus of power
that was planned for a de-
mand that never, material-

“We're going to do every-
thing we can to let customers
know about savings and ef-
ficiencies they can achieve by
using electricity,” Best said.

“It’s not realiy simply a
case of flogging the product,
We will be assisting cus-
tomers as much as possible
with their choices in energy
use.”

Forecasts that the lumber

unions at the bargaining ta-
ble, said a top union official,

The Conference Board of
Canada predicted this week
that the B.C. economy will be
the strongest in Canada and
that lumber will be the
strongest industry in B.C.

Jack Munro, regional pres-
ident of the International
Woodworkers of America,
confirmed that his bargaining
team will be waving the
board's report at negotiators
for the Forest Labor Rela-

‘tions Council when they meet

again.
“I think the Conference
Board report certainly
strengthens our argument,”
Munro said. “It is good news
for us.”
- ‘With few

there will not be jobs for
everyone.

Even if the economy gets
up a full head of steam, the
B.C. unemployment rate will
not fall below 8.5 per cent.

ECONOMY WILL GROW

The Conference Board pre-
dicted the B.C. economy will
grow by 2.9 per. cent this
year and 6.6 per cent in 1984,
aiter slumping by 6.7 per
cent in 1982,

“We have always said — as
long as a year ago — that
B.C., because of its resource-
based economy, was the first
one into the recession, and
would be the first one out,”
said Royal Bank spokesman
Dave Laundy.

“But we expect that the
unemployment numbers will
remain relatively high over
the next two years or so.
Business is going to be ‘con-

Interior are working at full
steam and lumber prices are
approaching their record
highs of 1979, Munro said.

“They (the industry) keep
denying it, but that’s non-
sense. We are starting into a
major upturn.”

The industry is seeking a
long-term contract with no
raise in the first year and
other concessions by the
union,

The union wants a one-
year pact, which would ex-
pire in mid-boom if the fore-
cast is correct.

Two other forecasters, the
Royal Bank of Canada and
the Fraser Institute, agreed
with the Conference Board's
analysis,

But they warned that

used the recession to trim as
many jobs as possible off
their payrolls, will try to stay
lean, he said.

Michael Walker, executive
director of the Fraser Insti-
tute, said he forecast the re-
covery eight months ago, and
that the Conference Board
may not be optimistic
enough,

“All the evidence says that

_ Weare on the verge of a truly

spectacular growth spurt,
not only in Canads and the
United States, but in the rest
of the industrialized world.”

Like the board, he pre-
dicted the lumber industry
will be first off the blocks.
Mining will follow later, he
said, but more quickly than
the board’s forecast of 1985.
