In the middle of the global economic meltdown or what is increasingly called The Great Recession, CEOs and business leaders on the COMPAS business panel were asked for their views on priority government actions for assisting recovery.

Targeted technology tax incentives emerged at the top of the list, supported by 86% of the panel and opposed by 9%. Panelists also back stronger investments focused on technology in post-secondary education, stronger investments in post-secondary education in general, lowering corporate taxes further, and, least of all, allowing the loonie to rise against the U.S. dollar.

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.
