Canadian Chamber/StatCan major survey on business conditions amid COVID-19
“The survey is Canada’s first comprehensive view into how our businesses are adapting, managing or, sadly, failing as the COVID-19 shutdown continues. Insights from more than 13,000 businesses bring into focus the time pressures businesses face to avoid closing their doors permanently. At the same time, the survey also shows how quickly the businesses that can are adapting to social distancing and preparing for the re-opening of the economy. The survey will provide critical information for governments as they develop and deliver their programs,”
said Trevin Stratton, Chief Economist at the Canadian Chamber.
The ACC will be releasing our provincial COVID-19 and low oil prices survey results early next week.
