In a letter to manufacturers on the CME website, the group's president, Jayson Myers, wrote, "In these very challenging economic times, CME is trying to keep businesses and governments apprised of business conditions affecting Canada's manufacturing and exporting sector on a regular and timely basis. Data from Statistics Canada is two months out of date when it's published. That is unacceptable given the fast-paced developments in financial and industrial markets around the world."   
Myers invites you to participate in CME's Business Conditions Survey. Your response will be treated confidentially. Only aggregate data will be published by CME. To take the survey, visit www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=fxLbAj9RLjDrRoPXD63Y_2fA_3d_3d.
