SURVEY OF CANADIAN MUSLIMS The first project of the Institute was to conduct surveys of representative samples of the Canadian public and Canadian Muslims on the relationship between Canadian Muslims and Canadian society at large. This research was partly intended to replicate and build upon a Pew Center poll conducted in 13 countries in 2006; Pew's work included Muslim oversamples in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. The Environics Institute-sponsored survey applied a similar research model in Canada, examining the attitudes of the majority population and the Muslim minority in comparative perspective on issues ranging from cultural identity and religion to extremism and discrimination. The Institute is fortunate to have partnered with CBC television for public release of the results of this important research in early 2007.
