RENOUF,
Harold
Augustus, O.C., LL.D, F.C.A.
b. Sandy Point, Newfoundland. June 15, 1917, d. peacefully July
4, 2005 Halifax, Nova Scotia. Beloved husband of Dorothy
(MUNRO)
cherished father of Janet, Ann Petley-Jones Robert (Barbara),
and Susan (Scott G.
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON;) and much-loved grandfather to
Phillip, Evan, Elizabeth, Iain, Matthew, Connor and Roisin. Also
survived by his dear sister Sybil (Ross).
A graduate of Dalhousie University with a degree in commerce,
Harold was a leading member of Canada's business community. He
was a partner in the accounting firm HR Doane and Company from
1942, serving as chair of the firm from 1967-1975. In 1974-75,
Harold was president of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.
During his years with HR Doane, he undertook a number of significant
briefs, including the Nova Scotia Provincial Municipal Fact-finding
Commission that reshaped and modernized the structure of the
province's towns and cities. He was sole commissioner for the
Royal Commission on Gasoline and Diesel Oil Pricing in 1968 and
was commissioner for the Royal Commission on the milk industry
in 1967 that brought out in him an unexpectedly whimsical fondness
for dairy cattle. He left his accounting practice in 1975 to
serve as the Atlantic region's commissioner for the Anti-Inflation
Board, moving with Dorothy to Ottawa full-time to become the
Board's chair from 1977 to 1979. From Ottawa, he and Dorothy
moved to Montreal where he served as the newly formed Via Rail's
chair from 1982-85. In 1985, he retired and returned to Halifax,
attending to his varied private business interests, serving on
boards and splitting his time between Nova Scotia and his winter
home in Sarasota, Florida.
Brilliant, with a logical and clear-headed approach to any task
and an iron-clad sense of ethics, Harold became a valued advisor
to many prominent businessmen and politicians from Frank Sobey
to Pierre Trudeau. For his many acts of public service, he was
made an officer of the Order of Canada, awarded the Commemorative
medal for the 125th Anniversary of Confederation, named to the
Accounting Hall of Fame at Saint Mary's University and awarded
the Queen's Medal as well as the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal.
Harold loved the challenge of his work but he loved his family
still more. He was happiest puttering around his Pictou Landing
cottage or his Sarasota home surrounded by family and Friends.
We, for our part, loved being around his quick wit and quiet
strength. Harold's was truly a life well-lived. He had a profound
impact on many and all of us touched by him will miss him.
Visitation will be held at St. Andrew's United Church on Sunday,
July 17, 2005 from 2 to 4 p.m. A memorial service will be held
at St. Andrew's on Monday, July 18, 2005 at 11 a.m. In lieu of
flowers, a donation may be made to the Nature Conservancy of
Canada, Sandy Point campaign.

Harold RENOUF,
Ottawa
Mandarin: 1917-2005
Plucked from a successful Halifax accounting firm by Pierre Trudeau,
he tackled inflation with the Anti-Inflation Board and the oil
industry through the National Energy Program, then made
VIA's
trains run on time
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Friday, July 15,
2005, Page S7
Harold RENOUF was an accountant and company director from Halifax
who left corporate life at the peak of his career for a stint
in public service and ended up running two of the most controversial
agencies of the Trudeau era: the Anti-Inflation Board and the
Petroleum Monitoring Agency.
Rising prices and wages were a hot topic of the 1970s. One of
the critics of the government at the time was Mr.
RENOUF, then
president of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.
In the federal election of 1974, Tory leader Robert Stanfield
ran on a platform of bringing in wage-and-price controls to control
inflation. The prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, mocked him with
the throwaway line: "Zap, you're frozen."
It was one of the issues that won Mr. Trudeau a majority government.
But, by the following year, inflation was far from frozen. It
was running at an annual rate of 10.6 per cent. Mr. Trudeau changed
his mind and introduced wage-and-price controls in the fall of
At the time, the Anti-Inflation Board was headed by Jean Luc
Pepin, a defeated Liberal candidate and former cabinet minister.
Mr. Trudeau wanted to make a change, but there was a matter of
regional representation to be considered. In the end, the man
the prime minister wanted was from Atlantic Canada. He was Harold
RENOUF, an accountant with Liberal Party connections who had
criticized government policy on inflation.
"When Trudeau called him on Thanksgiving weekend of 1975, Dad
said to us: 'I guess I've got to put my energy where my mouth
is.' And he accepted," said Janet
RENOUF, his daughter. He retired
as chairman of H.R. Doane, the accounting firm where he had worked
since 1938, and moved to Ottawa.
When Mr. Pepin left as head of the Anti-Inflation Board, Mr.
RENOUF took over as its second chairman. There was much debate
at the time whether the government's anti-inflation policies
had any effect or whether the natural slowdown of the economy
would have produced the same results.
The policy was not popular. Business did not like controls on
its prices and profits, and unions didn't like caps on pay increases.
Stewart Cooke, head of the United Steelworkers union, said all
the controls did was bring in a recession.
Mr. RENOUF defended the Anti-Inflation Board's policies, pointing
out that the average wage increase in 1975 was 21 per cent but,
by early 1978, pay hikes were down to 7.5 per cent. And furthermore,
the Anti-Inflation Board had rolled back $370-million in corporate
dividends. The Liberal government gradually wound down the Anti-Inflation
Board. In 1978, 27 months after they were brought in, the controls
were lifted. Then, in March of 1979, the finance minister, Jean
CHRÉTIEN, renamed the body the National Commission on Inflation.
Mr. RENOUF was made chairman of the new organization, but, by
then, its powers were sharply reduced.
The inflation watchdog soon died altogether when the government
switched its attentions to a new bugbear: high oil prices. Mr.
RENOUF was at the forefront of that policy, too, and, in 1980,
was named head of the Petroleum Monitoring Agency. Its job was
to collect information on the oil and gas industry, including
measuring what percentage of it was Canadian owned.
The agency was the operating arm of the government's national
energy program, brought in by energy minister Marc Lalonde. That
policy created an even more virulent reaction from the public
than had wage-and-price controls. In Western Canada, it was detested.
Later, the National Energy Program would be blamed for reducing
Alberta's share of the overall Canadian economy from 14 per cent
to a little more than 10 per cent, though the plummeting price
of oil -- from $40 (U.S.) in 1980 to $11 in 1986 -- was also
responsible.
A diminutive man, Mr.
RENOUF was a capitalist at heart, and the
criticism of his fellow business leaders upset him. But he was
also a man who, once on a mission, did what he set out to do.
In this case, it was to increase Canadian ownership in the oil
and gas industry.
"He was shocked at the reaction [in Western Canada] and he felt
badly about it," said Ms.
RENOUF. "
But he had a sense of doing
what was right for the greater good."
Mr. RENOUF found out about the oil industry's reaction early
on. In October of 1980, he went to Calgary to speak to certain
business executives who looked on the government's policies as
a form of nationalization. The accountant from Halifax tried
to reassure them.
"I cannot state that we will always agree with industry on substantive
matters, but I can promise co-operation, independence in our
actions and attitudes," Mr.
RENOUF told that skeptical Alberta
audience. "Although I cannot be out front of my minister on the
substance of Canadianization programs, it should be obvious that
an accurate assessment of ownership levels will be essential."
His audience did not find that obvious at all, and never came
round to Ottawa's way of thinking on energy.
After the energy posting, his last major government job was in
Montreal as chairman of Via Rail. There, he used to say he was
proudest of a small achievement, saving the murals by famous
Canadian artists painted on the inner walls of some long-distance
rail cars. When he and the president of Via heard they were going
to be destroyed, they moved quickly to preserve them.
His family joked that he kept trying to retire, and did so five
times before finally returning to Halifax and his beloved cottage
at Pictou Landing.
Harold RENOUF was the
son of a sea captain, a master mariner
named John
RENOUF, who gave him a lifelong love of boats and
the ocean. He was born in Sandy Point, a tiny community on Newfoundland's
southwest coast that no longer exists but whose dunes and salt
marshes remain such a favourite location for migrating birds
that there is now a movement to turn it into a nature preserve.
There was a lot of French in his background. His mother's maiden
name was LEROUX, and
RENOUF was originally a French name. The
family traces its lineage to Jersey, the largest of Britain's
Channel Islands off the French coast. Young Harold's line of
the RENOUF family left Newfoundland around 1920 and moved to
Halifax. He later studied commerce at Dalhousie University.
In 1938, he joined the accounting firm of H.R. Doane and became
a partner in 1942. He was chairman of the firm from 1967 to 1975,
when he left for the Anti-Inflation Board. Even before then,
he had been involved with government commissions and studies,
among them the royal commission on gasoline and diesel pricing
in Nova Scotia and the royal commission on the milk industry.
The latter was partly responsible for setting up a marketing-board
system for dairy farmers in Canada.
Mr. RENOUF was on the board of a number of private companies,
including two British insurance firms. An anglophile, Mr.
RENOUF
enjoyed travelling to directors' meetings in London. A devoted
family man, he often extended his visits to private vacations
(a scrupulous number cruncher, he always paid his own way) in
which he brought along his wife or met some of his children already
in London.
When they were growing up, he tried to introduce his children
to as much theatre and music as possible. The family would travel
to Boston, New York City and Stratford for museums, theatre and
plays. At home, he funded a trust to endow part of the New Glasgow
Music Festival, an annual event to encourage young musicians
from northern Nova Scotia. The winner of the festival receives
a silver bowl and a cash prize from the Rose Bowl Trust funded
by Mr. RENOUF.
Mr. RENOUF liked to fish for trout on Lawlor's Lake in Guysborough
County, Nova Scotia, and read mysteries and adventures -- in
particular, the swashbuckling sea stories of Patrick O'Brian.
In 1979, he was made an officer of the Order of Canada and, in
1981, was awarded an honorary doctorate from Dalhousie.
Harold Augustus
RENOUF was born on June 15, 1917, in Sandy Point,
Newfoundland. He died in Halifax on July 4, 2005, after suffering
a heart attack. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy, and his
four children, Janet, Ann, Robert and Susan. A memorial service
is planned for Monday at St. Andrew's United Church in Halifax.

Ontario -- Joe
MARTIN of Tiny Township, Ontario,
writes about Harold
RENOUF, whose obituary appeared on July 16.
I first met Harold at Province House in Halifax in the late 1960s.
I was the junior on a major engagement being conducted jointly
by Touche Ross (now Deloitte and Touche) and Harold's firm, H.R.
Doane. Our joint client was the Nova Scotia Provincial/Municipal
Fact-Finding Committee co-chaired by the Conservative premier,
G.I. Smith, and the New Democratic Party mayor of Halifax, Allan
O'Brien. Harold acted for the municipal side, while the late
Eric Newman was the Touche Ross partner. Harold and Eric were
both leading professionals. For a junior person, it was a dream
assignment.
