The third bi-annual Canadian Labour and Business Centre Leadership Survey of 4,442 private sector business leaders, public sector management, and private and public sector labour leaders was conducted between March and April 2000. As in earlier surveys, this year’s survey gathered respondents’ views on (i) the seriousness of major economic and public policy issues facing the country, and on (ii) the public policy solutions which should receive more emphasis if these issues are to be addressed.

The survey provided not only a snapshot of constituency leaders’ perceptions in 2000, but also insights into how these perceptions have changed since the first Leadership Survey in 1996. The responses to these questions on Serious Issues and Potential Solutions are summarized in this report.
