Résumé

"The second focus group study builds on the qualitative study carried out in the first phase of the research which involved examining the views of visible minority groups in Canada. The purpose of this second study was to obtain the views and examine the attitudes of the larger spectrum of the Canadian population with regard to the legislation, its specific provisions, and its potential impact on their personal and community lives. Although both focus group studies form part of the research undertaken on the Anti-terrorism Act, the results of the two studies are not directly compared in this report. While the main purpose of this study was to obtain the views of the Canadian public on the Act and some of its key components, it also sought to gain insight as to why such viewpoints were held. More specifically, the following four issues were to be explored: 1) awareness of Canadian anti-terrorism legislation and Government of Canada actions since 9/11; 2) awareness of, and attitudes towards, the Act in general, and some particular provisions; 3) perceived impact of the Act on people's personal lives; and 4) interest in further information about the Act in general and about certain aspects."--Page 5.
