Omnibus Survey Report on the Opinion of Quebeckers regarding Privatizing Retail Trade of Alcohol

This report presents the results of an Omnibus survey conducted among 1,004 Quebeckers. Respondents were reached over the phone, were English or French speaking and were 18 years old or older.

For the sake of ensuring a representative population overall, a sample was randomly generated using Survey Sampler Canada software. Furthermore, results were weighted according to region, gender, age and language spoken at home according to statistics obtained during the 2001 Census.

Interviews were conducted from our call centre located in Montreal from February 8 to February 12, 2005. For a sample of 1,004 respondents, the margin of error is ± 3.1% at a confidence interval of 95.0%.

The results of this survey have been compared to those obtained in September 2005. The methodological parameters of the September 2005 survey are the same as those for February 2006.
