Portraits of Canada is an annual survey of public opinion in Canada conducted by the Centre for Research and Information on Canada (CRIC). Its purpose is to track how the attitudes of Canadians have evolved on a range of issues relating to the nature and well-being of the federation, its institutions and its citizens.
This is the eighth survey in the Portraits of Canada series. The three Northern Territories were included in this sample for the second time. Portraits of Canada 2004 co ntained a few surprises. For example, health care and improved intergovernmental relations remained among the highest priorities across the country. However, among the 11 possible priorities that respondents were asked to rank in order of importance, the environment emerged as number one, while improving the quality of life for Aboriginal Canadians was in second-last place.
