2015 – 2016 Enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit Advertising Post-Campaign Evaluation (ACET)

Public Opinion Research Results.

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) commissioned Opinion Search to conduct quantitative research with Canadians on the topic of the Universal Child Care Benefit advertising campaign.

The research was performed to satisfy the Government of Canada’s requirement that all major ad campaigns be assessed using the Advertising Campaign Evaluation Tool. Specific objectives were:

- Measuring overall aided and unaided awareness of the advertising;

- Determining recall of the key campaign messages; and

- Determining awareness of who was responsible for creating the ad. 

It is expected that the results from this survey will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Universal Child Care Benefit ad campaign.

2020-engagement-paper-space-based-earth-observation

Over the past eighteen months the GC has been exploring the future of SBEO in Canada through an
interdepartmental effort. As work continues internal to the GC to identify needs and potential forward
strategies, it is vital to now engage the broader SBEO stakeholder community in Canada. SBEO
benefits are whole-of-society, and therefore any long-term SBEO pathway must be the culmination of
collaboration across governments and sectors for the benefits of all Canadian businesses, researchers,
students, decision makers, and citizens.
This document provides an overview of the potential of SBEO and how it can provide daily benefits to
Canadians. The objective is to highlight the potential of SBEO technology, and present important
questions for Canadian stakeholders in academia, industry, provinces, territories, municipalities, and
indigenous governments regarding the future direction for advancing SBEO capabilities in Canada.
Capacity in SBEO is not only about increasing what government can do in its services, but also
providing a healthy landscape for Canadian companies and researchers when it comes to accessing
and working with data in order to develop solutions and positive economic activity.

Interoperability within the agricultural implements industry is part of interconnected public policy issues that have arisen because of new market dynamics created by digital technologies.

This report looks at the economic significance of agricultural manufacturing in western Canada with additional insight from industry on the effects of a single change to interoperability on agriculture machinery.
