NATIONAL INCOME AND TAXATION IN CANADA
In 1040 the total income of the Canadian people was $554 million greater than in 1939 according to a preliminary estimate recently issued in connexion with the Sirois Report on Dominion- Provincial Relations, This statement indicates that the total income 'paid out to Canadians during 1940' was $4,594 million or $102 per capita, as compared with $4,040 million and $357 in 1939. In view of the tremendous requirements of the war, this increase in the na- tional income is of special significance as it is a measure of Cana- da's ability to meet these added demands without severe repercus- sions.
