The 30th C-Suite Survey: federal budget in focus

Executives are divided on whether Canada’s government should tend towards austerity or stimulus, according to the 30th edition of the survey [PDF 951KB]. This survey, sponsored by KPMG, is conducted by the Gandalf Group, and published and broadcast by The Globe and Mail, BNN and Report on Business.

Half of Canadian executives surveyed believe now is the time for the government to provide stimulus for the economy, however most support stimulus for targeted priorities such as infrastructure. These findings follow closely on the heels of the March 21 federal budget which addressed similar priorities from immigration to skills training.

Top highlights

Expectations for the US economy have improved to the point where executives’ outlook for the US is as positive as it is for the Canadian economy – something the C-Suite hasn’t said in over three years
Outlook for the Canadian economy remains relatively unchanged since the last quarter, with 75 percent of executives indicating moderate growth
Weak economic growth forecasts and declining government revenues, found most agreed there is a need to cut government spending
While there may be support for government austerity, there is almost no appetite for raising taxes to help reduce the debt
Investing in skills training, and admitting more foreign trained workers are among the best impetus to spur economic growth. The vast majority agreed immigration is going to be critical to labour market needs.
