Industry Canada - General Population Survey [2007]

Industry Canada commissioned TNS Canadian Facts to undertake a national survey to explore a range of issues of interest to the department. A total of 1,200 telephone interviews were conducted with a random sample of members of the general public, aged 18 years and older. Based on a sample of this size, results can be considered accurate to within +/-2.9%. The overall purpose of this research is to survey the Canadian public’s views regarding Industry Canada priorities and performance — especially as related to government efforts to promote innovation and research and development in Canada and among Canadian businesses. The general public survey has four key objectives: • To enrich Industry Canada’s research program with custom research that allows for exploration of departmental priorities, performance, policies and communications. • To allow for greater dissemination of public opinion research (POR) findings within the department and outside of the department to portfolio members and to the general public. • To track findings from the 2002/2003 and 2004/2005 benchmark general public studies. • To help inform communications initiatives and policy direction.
