December 10, 2007 - Results from the 2007 fourth quarter Report on Business C-Suite Survey, sponsored by Davies and KPMG, were announced today.  This survey, focusing on the Canadian dollar, was conducted during the second and third week of November when the dollar was trading between US$1.01 and US$1.08.

Vincent Mercier, from Davies' Toronto office, will appear on a Business News Network (BNN) special presentation at 8:30 p.m. (Eastern) this evening as part of an expert panel to discuss the findings.  Visit the BNN website and view the discussion (available Tuesday, December 11).
