COMPAS asked business leaders a series of questions about spending and tax priorities as well as the trustworthiness of various public figures, whether or not they are politicians. Business leaders evince little change in their priorities for potential new spending, emphasizing tax cuts and physical security though there may be some attenuation of enthusiasm for the latter. With respect to opposition to new spending, business leaders express some concern about spending on infrastructure but such concern is far less passionate than earlier concern about spending on innovation. Finally, no consensus emerges about how spending caps might be established. To the extent that business leaders favour government spending caps, they are not agreed about the extent to which caps should be tied to inflation. These are the major findings from the weekly CIBC and Chamber of Commerce-sponsored poll.
