Portraits of Canada, 2002 [Canada]

Portraits of Canada is annual survey of public opinion in Canada conducted by the Centre for Information and Research on Canada (CRIC). It tracks how the attitudes of Canadians have evolved on a range of issues relating the nature and well-being of the country and its citizens. The is the sixth Portraits survey. The 2002 edition is highly authoritative because it is based on a sample of 2,939 persons - a sample size large enough to ensure that opinions in all region s of the country are accurately reflected. As in past years, two separate surveys were conducted, one in Quebec and one in the rest of Canada. Environics Research Group surveyed 1,925 people in the nine provinces outside of Quebec between October 2 and 15, 2002. CROP surveyed 1,014 people in Quebec between September 27 and October 16, 2002. The results of surveys of this size have a margin of error of approximately plus or minus 1.8%, 19 times out of 20. The margin or error or sm aller sub-samples within each survey are larger. For the first time, selected results are included from Canada's three northern Territories where 1,207 adults were reached in a separate survey between June 4 and July 6. Environics Research Group conducted the interviews in English, French and Inuktitut. The margin of error for this survey is plus or minus 2.8%, 19 times out of 20. The data from the CROP and the two Environics Research Group surveys were combined in order to establi sh results for the whole of Canada and weighted to reflect the actual proportions of the provinces in the population. CRIC is the research and communications program of the Canadian Unity Council.

加拿大画像（Portraits of Canada）是加拿大信息与研究中心（Centre for Information and Research on Canada，简称CRIC）开展的加拿大年度民意调查项目，旨在追踪加拿大人在关乎国家本质与国民福祉的一系列议题上的态度演变。本次为第六次加拿大画像调查。2002年版本次调查极具权威性，其总样本量达2939人，足以精准反映加拿大全国各区域的民意倾向。与往届一致，本次调查分为两个独立板块：分别针对魁北克省以及加拿大其他省份开展。环境研究集团（Environics Research Group）于2002年10月2日至15日期间，在魁北克以外的九个省份完成了1925份样本的调研；加拿大民调机构CROP则于2002年9月27日至10月16日期间，在魁北克省完成了1014份样本的调研。此类规模的调查结果，在95%置信度（即20次调研中有19次符合该误差范围）下的误差幅度约为±1.8%。而各调查内部的更小分样本，其误差幅度则更大。本次调查首次纳入了加拿大北部三个地区的调研结果：相关独立调研于2002年6月4日至7月6日期间完成，共访谈1207名成年人。环境研究集团本次调研采用英语、法语以及因纽特语（Inuktitut）开展访谈。该北部地区专项调研的误差幅度在95%置信度下为±2.8%。研究团队将CROP的调研数据与两项环境研究集团的调研数据进行合并，以生成加拿大全国层面的调查结果，并根据各省人口实际占比进行加权处理。加拿大信息与研究中心（CRIC）是加拿大团结委员会下属的研究与传播项目。
