Environics Focus Canada 2010

The New Focus Canada - 2010 National Survey is a national public opinion survey to take the pulse of Canadians on a wide range of relevant policy areas and issues facing the country at this time. The overall framework for the research is Canadians' political values, including social issues (e.g., crime and justice, health care, multiculturalism), economic issues (taxation), confidence in institutions, the role of government and Canada's place in the world. In addition to the Environics Institue for Survey Research, this research is being sponsored by the Canadian Opinion Research Archive (CORA) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which is also serving as the project's media partner. The research was conducted by Environics Research and consists of a comprehensive national public opinion survey conducted by telephone with a representative sample of 2,020 Canadians (aged 18 and over) between September 27 and October 12, 2010. The survey sample is stratified to ensure coverage of all 10 provinces, and is representative of the population by age cohort, gender and community size.
