The Canadian Council of Chief Executives came out with a statement about Canada’s past and prospective roles in the global recession on the occasion of the G20 Summit. The CEOs and business leaders on the COMPAS business panel praise the CEO Council for calling on Prime Minister Harper to do whatever he can to move the G20 beyond platitudes to concerted economic action.

Panelists also praise the Prime Minister himself for his management of the economy and international economic advocacy, as detailed in the body of the report, below. They praise his PR offensive on Canada’s behalf in the increasingly protectionist United States. From the business panel, Harper earns an overall performance score that is one of the highest received by a politician in COMPAS’ large database of performance scores.

These are the key findings from this past week’s Internet survey of CEOs and business leaders on the COMPAS panel. The weekly business survey is undertaken for Canadian Business magazine under sponsorship of BDO Dunwoody LLP.
