Canada's pulse takers

Article Abstract:

Unlike before, when the open bidding system was opted to purchase public opinion research, over the last decade, the government has been using a standing offer process to obtain services for quantitative or qualitative research or for a combination of both. This year the government selected the top twelve firms in each category, using a point system. The Strategic Counsel, Environics Research Group and Earnscliffe Research & Communications were the top three in qualitative research, and in both quantitative and qualitative/quantitative research the top three were Environics Research Group, The Strategic Counsel and Ipsos-Reid.
