    REPORT FEDERAL POLITICS st DATE FebruaryNUMÉRO1 DE, 2020 PROJET METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY Web survey using computer-assisted Web interviewing (CAWI) technology. From January 29th to January 30th, 2020 1,501 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, mother tongue and region in order to ensure a representative sample of the population. No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (Web panel in this case). However for comparative purposes, a probability sample of 1,501 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.53%, 19 times out of 20. The research results presented here are in full compliance with the CRIC Public Opinion Research Standards and Disclosure Requirements. 2 METHODOLOGY Notes on Reading this Report The numbers presented have been rounded up. However, the numbers before rounding were used to calculate the sums presented and might therefore not correspond to the manual addition of these numbers. In this report, data in bold red characters indicate a significantly lower proportion than that of other respondents. Conversely, data in bold green characters indicate a significantly higher proportion that that of other respondents. A more detailed methodology is presented in the appendix.

  • The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, PC
    The Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, P.C., M.P. Minister of Health House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Re: Dedicated ALS Research Funding Dear Minister Petitpas Taylor, I am writing to you today on behalf of the nearly 3,000 Canadians living with ALS today and the 1,000 Canadians who will be diagnosed each year in the future, all of who continue to face the realities of this challenging and terminal disease – realities that led Carol Skinner and Eddy Lefrançois, two Canadians affected by ALS, to start a letter-writing campaign. The campaign asked Members of Parliament to hold themselves accountable following their unanimous approval of Motion M-105, which called on the government to play a leadership role in supporting ALS research and national efforts to find a cure. Over the course of four months, more than 2,300 Canadians joined Carol and Eddy in their initiative. But even that short time proved to be too long for someone living with ALS: Eddy Lefrançois died in January 2019 before he could see the results of his initiative. The reality is that ALS continues to be a devastating disease and the impact on families – emotionally, financially, and psychologically – is tremendous. Despite advancements in research the causes of ALS are unknown, and 80 per cent of people with ALS die within two to five years of being diagnosed. Since the unanimous approval of M-105 in April 2017, there has been little action from the federal government to act on the repeated calls from the ALS community to invest in dedicated, sustained funding for ALS research.
