That's a good question. Let me respond in two parts. In terms of the sample of 1,000, it's not the largest sample. Speaking as somebody who has been trained in this business, it's large enough to get a representative sample of Canadians nationally with some look at the regional numbers. We certainly wouldn't go beyond that. A thousand is accurate enough. It's not as precise as a larger survey, but I think in terms of the kinds of questions we asked and the similarity across the population, I would be comfortable saying that this provides an accurate picture in a broad sense, and it's consistent with other research.
In terms of doing a larger sample or a larger survey, I would certainly recommend that the committee keep in mind that probably further research is needed. This survey was an interesting snapshot taken a year ago that gives you a sense of where Canadians were. But by no means is it static, nor does it answer all the questions you probably have or need to have as planning goes forward. I would expect that at some level, some organizations involved in this will do further research. And I think you would probably need to target certain parts of the population regionally or demographically or whatever to understand some of these issues much better for specific parts of the population, particularly as the planning moves forward and you get into some more specifics.
This is just a starting point, and I think it's useful that this research came about. This survey was also the result of corporate sponsorship from MasterCard. Without them, it wouldn't have happened. They took a hands-off approach in the sense that they had no involvement in the design of the questions or the interpretation. They simply provided the money to make it happen.
