CME launches 2018 Management Issue Survey

Ottawa, July 18, 2018

Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) and the Canadian Manufacturing Coalition, and our partners Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC), and BDO Canada LLP released today the 2018 Management Issue Survey.

The bi-annual survey examines the core priorities of Canadian manufacturers today and explore their outlook for the future. It allows manufacturers to drive CME’s common vision and strategy for the future of Canadian manufacturing and global business.

Past iterations of this survey have led to the identification of serious challenges for manufacturers which prompted CME advocacy efforts and resulted positive policy changes, notably in the areas of business tax reductions, investment supports, access to skilled workers and exports supports.

The survey takes 30 minutes to complete and responses will be held strictly confidential. Participants who take CME’s Management Issues Survey before September 7th and could win* 2 tickets to CME’s 2018 Annual General Meeting and Manufacturing Conference, November 7th, where the survey results will be revealed.
