Many Canadians have just two months or less in savings to manage an emergency, according to a new Maru public opinion poll.

Sixty-two percent of Canadians, down from 65 percent last month, believe they have money in reserve for unexpected costs or needs, according to the March 7 Canadian Maru Household Index (MHOI).
