Canadian Business Leaders Show Strong Support for Expanded Public Funding of Social Programs

TORONTO, June 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The latest findings from the Modus Business Monitor survey of over 950 Canadian managers and executives shows remarkable support for expanding long-term public funding for social programs.

Two-thirds support increases to health care public funding, while 55% support expanded funding for both social housing and basic income.

• These findings are consistent across small, medium, and large businesses and fairly consistent regionally with some notable exceptions.
  
  
• Support for increased long-term public funding for health care (48%) and basic income (40%) is lower in Alberta and, to a lesser extent, the Prairies.
