Canada’s Katrina Relief: Martin Wins Enthusiastic Applause
A BDO Dunwoody/Chamber Weekly CEO/Business Leader Poll by COMPAS in the Financial Post |
|||
| Despite a delay and despite some disorganization loading supplies onto ship, the federal government scores very highly in the esteem of the business panel for its relief efforts. The Martin government earns its highest performance score ever on any subject. The score is also one of the highest scores for performance earned by any government, public figure, profession, or organization in the multi-year history of COMPAS’ proprietary performance scores. Canadian CEOs and business leaders believe that Canada ought to help New Orleans at a time of trade frictions. They also believe that it is good business for business to give. Nonetheless, panellists believe even more strongly, indeed much more strongly, that we ought to help for strictly humanitarian reasons and because of the spontaneous generosity that Americans themselves have shown to others in need, for example during the Tsunami. Katrina’s impact will likely rebound to Canada’s moderate economic advantage, they say. In the event of a similar catastrophe in Canada, business leaders and CEOs have very low confidence in the abilities of Canadian governments at any level. These are the key findings from this week’s business web-panel, conducted by COMPAS for the Financial Post under sponsorship of BDO Dunwoody LLP and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. |
