Canadian Businesses Want Swift Execution on Economic Agenda

A new survey by KPMG has found that Canadian businesses are feeling optimistic about the federal government's economic agenda, but want to see swift execution on key priorities.

The poll, which was conducted online between June 25 and July 13, surveyed 359 business leaders and found that 51% believe their firm will be better off due to the federal government's economic measures over the next three years.

The survey also revealed that many businesses want the federal government to prioritize removing red tape and fast-tracking a new West Coast oil pipeline to boost the economy.
