Canadian Chamber and Statistics Canada create one of the largest business conditions surveys in Canadian history; the Chamber sends out a call to action for all businesses amid COVID-19.
As Canada rises to the challenge of COVID-19, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Statistics Canada have created a new weapon: time-sensitive data about what businesses are going through and how they are planning for the eventual recovery
The new survey will be in the field this week and collect data on how businesses are currently coping with COVID-19, but the survey may be repeated in the coming weeks, depending on how the situation progresses.
