There are also questions on other topics of interest and importance to the country and government, such as the old age pension, family allowance and soft drug use.

Topics of interest include: the closeness of U.S.-Canada relations; confidence in the United States' problem solving; the effects of free trade on Canada; increasing the family allowance for needy families; increasing the old age pension of the needy; the most important problem in Canada; predictions for 1985; satisfaction with the Progressive Conservative government; and the seriousness of soft drug use.
