Public Opinion Advisory Services
Public Works and Government Services Canada coordinates public opinion research for the Government of Canada through the Public Opinion Research Directorate. We provide coordination and advisory services for public opinion research. We facilitate studies by guiding client departments throughout the entire process — from the research planning to the receipt of the final report — to ensure research objectives are met and that the research undertaken conforms with Government of Canada policies and market research industry standards.
What services do we provide?
Advise at each stage of public opinion research project planning and implementation. Coordinate public opinion research across the Government of Canada.
