An online survey.
1933 Canadians, 475 residents of Manitoba and 1458 across the nation.
Completed between February 16 and 18, 2024, using Leger’s online panel.
No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (i.e. a web panel in this case).
For comparative purposes, though, a probability sample of 1933 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.2%, 19 times out of 20.
Leger’s online panel has more than 400,000 members nationally and has a retention rate of 90%.
Stringent quality assurance measures allow Leger to achieve the high-quality standards set by the company. As a result, its methods of data collection and storage outperform the norms set by WAPOR (The World Association for Public Opinion Research). These measures are applied at every stage of the project: from data collection to processing, through to analysis. We aim to answer our clients’ needs with honesty, total confidentiality, and integrity.
Leger is the largest Canadian-owned market research and analytics company, with more than 600 employees in eight Canadian and US offices. Leger has been working with prestigious clients since 1986.
