Methodology
SOM conducted the telephone survey on behalf of Desjardins Financial Security between March 8 and April 3, 2006. In total, 1,501 interviews were conducted with a representative sample of Canadian adults. The sampling plan provides proportional estimates with a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 2.6% at a 95% confidence level (19 times out of 20). The data was statistically weighted to accurately reflect the composition of Canadians by region, gender and age based on Statistics Canada's 2001 Census information.
