The Régie wished to measure the changing level of quality, and the security of buildings and installations according to two indices: IS and IQC. Each building present in the sample had to be identified, and data checked concerning its characteristics. The mandate also involved recommending the best method for selecting buildings in terms of the two indices, and for this purpose four distinct sub-samples were used to constitute a representative group of buildings.

Client satisfaction telephone survey for the Sûreté du Québec

The Sûreté du Québec wished to evaluate the quality of its services as well as client satisfaction in terms of the objectives for quality formulated in its Déclaration de services aux citoyens: rapid, courteous and attentive professional service delivered with respect and integrity. The Sûreté also wished to ascertain the principal determinants of client satisfaction in order to set priorities with a view to improving service quality and level of satisfaction. Interviews were conducted in French and in English among persons who had resort to the services of the Sûreté and others who had not. The sample drawn had to facilitate the output of statistically reliable estimates at the provincial level, that is, for the group of ten districts covered by the study.
