In anticipation of the upcoming Throne Speech, CEOs and business leaders on the COMPAS business panel were asked how the anticipated surplus should be spent. By a large and rising margin, panelists want the government to use a substantial part of the anticipated $ 14 billion surplus to pay down the national debt. The average amount of money panelists want devoted to paying down the debt has more than doubled since 2004, reaching a record height.

These are the key findings from the current web-survey of the panel of CEOs and business leaders undertaken for the Financial Post under sponsorship of BDO Dunwoody LLP.
