As concerns about COVID-19 and the measures to reduce its spread have dramatically impacted the behaviours and attitudes of Canadians, the need for insights to support decisions has never been greater. CRIC Agency members are operational and playing a critical role in helping public and private sector clients navigate through these challenging times.
As the voice of the Canadian research, analytics and insights industry, the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) will continue to support our industry. We are continuing to monitor developments and will update this page as required.

Government Support
Canada’s federal and provincial governments recognize the challenges this crisis is having on Canadians and Canadian businesses. We have summarized the current programs offered by the Government of Canada that we believe will offer the most benefit to businesses in our sector. CRIC is also advocating for additional support for our industry bearing in mind those primarily involved in face-to-face research will be especially impacted by COVID-19.
