Public opinion research results.
The department had identified the need to conduct public opinion research to understand awareness and opinions about the TFWP. The results will be used to help inform policy making.
To meet the research objectives, a telephone survey using both landline and cell sample was conducted with 1,984 Canadian adults, 18+ years. The research was conducted between May 23 and May 25, 2014 (in English and French) and the survey took an average of 12 minutes to complete. A sample of this size yields a margin of error of +/-2.2%, 19 times out of 20. A detailed description of the survey methodology used to complete this research, including sample design, survey administration, and response rates (along with margin of error), is outlined in the methodological report. This report contains all the details necessary to replicate this study in the future.
