Mr. Adams continued his presentation by introducing the Canada’s World Poll which was conducted in January 9-22, 2008 by Environics Research on behalf of Canada’s World and interviewed 2001 (15 yrs and up) ordinary Canadian citizen.
Later, Mr. Adams emphasized the importance of the poll as a new and innovative research that is the first of its kind to provide in-depth objective view of Canadians about where they see Canada and Canadians standing among other nations in the world. Mr. Adams described the poll as not being a Canadian defense policy but a public opinion through measuring Canadians’ experiences, connections, perceptions and priorities.
Finally, Mr. Adams shared the survey result with the audience. He evaluated the responses for the survey questions asked within the poll and provided relevant examples for the significant ones that helped to shape the outcome of the poll.
Following a brief question and answer session, the guests were able to personally meet Mr. Adams at a reception.
