Canada strong TORONTO. (CP) — On the eve of Willlamsburg, Va. " summit, a report by the U.S.-based Centre for International - ’ Business Cycle Research has, described the economic recovery in Canada as the strongest in any of the countries . Tepresented at the meeting, aside from the U.S. The report characterizes the performance of ‘the _ Canadian ecotioniy as one of strong expansion and says the rebound from last year’s recession. Is looking far more vigorous than in’ Europe or Japan. . At the Willlamaburg meeting this weekend, President Reagan, the summit’s host, is expected to come under fira for high U.S. budget deficits which have kept interest rates and the dollar up, and cramped the pace of the recovery In major economies, The report by the centre, an organization based at a Rutgers University, -N.J., and headed by a well-known expert in business cycle research, Geoffrey Moore, ‘provides some justification for this. It drawa a distinction between what is seen as rapid recovery In North America. and a alower-paced, though accelerating, expansion in. West Germany, France and Britaln — the countries that have felt most victimized by "+ the stresigth ofthe U.S. dollar and the need to maintain high interest rates.
