Flaherty’s Budget Earns High Grades But Seen as Sparse Effort
A BDO Dunwoody CEO/Business Leader Poll by COMPAS in Canadian Business Magazine |

|
Finance Minister Flaherty earns a high grade of 69% for his budget even while more than one panelist calls it a thin or sparse effort. Most appreciated are provisions for further debt reduction and removal of disincentives against working for seniors. Other highly approved provisions are a one-year extension for the 50% write off of the value of new machinery in the first year and making permanent the $ 2 billion Gas Tax Fund for infrastructure planning.
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. |
