    Are telephone interviews recorded?

    For quality and training purposes, telephone interviews with Institut de la statistique du Québec agents are recorded. Any person who does not want their interview to be recorded can notify the agent at the beginning of the call.

    Why was my organization chosen?

    Your organization was chosen from the file produced based on Revenu Québec’s Summary of Source Deductions and Employer Contributions. The Institut de la statistique du Québec always selects its samples randomly. However, in making this selection, it must take into account the regions, organization sizes and industries for which results are expected. In addition, in some surveys, the input from larger organizations is so important that several of them must be selected to obtain reliable results. Your organization is either very large or in an economic sector or region where there are few organizations, or it has been selected several times at random.

    Is my organization’s participation mandatory?

    Yes. The participation of your organization is essential to ensure that organizations of all sizes and in all the industry sectors covered by this survey are represented.

    As set out in section 11 of the Act respecting the Institut de la statistique du Québec, the Chief Statistician has the right to determine which requests for information are to be considered mandatory if he deems that such information is necessary to produce reliable statistics. It was determined by the Chief Statistician that this survey should be mandatory.

    As a result, your organization is legally obligated to take part in the survey. Under the Act respecting the Institut de la statistique du Québec, anyone asked to provide the Institut de la statistique du Québec with information deemed mandatory must do so by the prescribed deadline and in the prescribed format.

    What is the Institut de la statistique du Québec’s privacy policy?

    The Act respecting the Institut de la statistique du Québec guarantees that the information you provide will be kept confidential and will only be used for statistical purposes. All employees at the Institut de la statistique du Québec have been sworn in before a commissioner and are bound to maintain secrecy and confidentiality.

    Will the answers provided by the participating organizations be shared with other individuals or organizations?

    This survey is being conducted in accordance with the Act respecting the Institut de la statistique du Québec. The Institut has entered into an agreement with the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale (MESS) and the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail (CPMT), to whom the data collected will be sent, unless we receive a written notice of refusal from you by February 28, 2025. Rest assured that your information will be kept confidential and will only be used for statistical purposes.

    When the survey results are published, the data is aggregated to protect the anonymity of the participating organizations.
