Research conducted for the Government of Canada this fiscal year was based upon a wide variety of target populations (the actual people being interviewed or studied in a particular research project). The majority of projects dealt with Canada’s general population but other studies were based on a wide variety of sub-populations that ranged from seniors to immigrants. The category “other” expands this list even more and includes such diverse groups as rural dwellers and farmers, unemployed Canadians, parents with children living at home, veterans, debit card users, opinion leaders and physicians, to name but a few.
