4 METHODOLOGY n OVERVIEW In July 2015, the Government of Alberta commissioned an online engagement to help inform the work of Alberta s Climate Change Advisory Panel. The goal was to provide Albertans with an opportunity to share their perspective on the issue of climate change. This 23-question engagement asked participants for their baseline opinions, their level of agreement with different statements for or against taking action, and their support for various policies. Finally, the engagement ended with questions about the willingness of participants to make use of or pay for certain policy tools. The script of the online engagement can be found in Appendix A of this report. Honourable Shannon Phillips, Minister of Environment and Parks, and Alberta s Climate Change Advisory Panel Chair Andrew Leach launched this open-invitation, online public engagement on August 14. From then until its close on September 18 it was completed 25,432 times from 16,256 unique IP addresses. To complement these public results, a demographically representative sample of Albertans was acquired through Research Now, a global research and data firm. These 1,963 participants completed the engagement between August 31 and September 10. From these two sources, four participant groups were prepared for analysis: the online public engagement provided three groups (all results, unique IPs and a standard model of accepting the first three results from an IP); and the demographically representative sample from Research Now provided the fourth participant group. Results were then weighted by age, gender and region for all participant groups to provide a more representative view of the attitudes of Albertans and were presented as crosstabs. Crosstab definitions and weightings used in presenting data can be found in Appendix B to this report. Both weighted and unweighted tables for all participant groups can be found in Appendix C to this report. All participant groups weighted or unweighted provided the same predominant feedback to the Panel, with varying intensity: the government should take stronger action on climate change, most but not all policy tools should be on the table, and there is a willingness to support action even if it means participants personally pay more for that action. 2

5 CONSTRUCTION OF ENGAGEMENT n QUESTION STRUCTURE Engagement questions were chosen to provide insight into the overall sentiment of participants and grow an understanding of their support or opposition to various potential actions. Once the subject matter was decided upon, the questions were worded with an eye towards ensuring their accessibility and objectivity. When determining the sequence of the questions, consideration was given to the impact the order might have on answers. Questions were broken into sections presented to minimize impact. Question sections were ordered accordingly: Initial questions. Questions related to baseline opinions on concern and desire to see the government take additional action came before the explanation of the issue to see reflexivity. Outline of the issue. An explanation of why the government was considering action and related timelines was provided as context. Agree/disagree. Participants were asked to give their reaction to certain statements. Policy considerations. Participant reaction to larger or broader policy proposals was solicited. Additional policy considerations. More specific policies related to electricity and energy efficiency were explored. Personal action. The willingness of participants to make use of a home energy efficiency incentive program and pay more for action on climate change was measured. s. s used to analyze results were collected: the first three digits of the postal code (to determine participant s region, exclude non- Alberta results), age group and gender. Within sections where there was concern the order of questions or options may impact results, the order was randomized. With agree/disagree statements, participants were randomly presented either a positive or negative framing of the question at hand. When practical, question responses were presented in a standard model of a five-point likert scale (e.g. strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor disagree, agree, strongly agree) to allow an easier comparison of results. Participants were also given the opportunity to provide text responses at three points in the engagement. These open-ended questions afforded the opportunity to get feedback on topics not considered and allow for qualitative analysis of participant responses. 3

6 ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM To allow the randomization of question order and phrasings, as well as facilitate postengagement analysis, the online engagement was coded into Hill+Knowlton Strategies HKES Engagement Platform. The platform was formatted to meet Government of Alberta brand and accessibility guidelines. Optimization of code related to social sharing on Facebook and Twitter was undertaken to encourage broader participation. The design of the engagement was made mobile friendly (responsive design) and tested to work in the following browsers with Javascript either enabled or disabled: Internet Explorer 7+ Safari 5+ Mozilla Firefox Google Chrome The HKES engine and related data were hosted in Vancouver, British Columbia, on servers maintained by Canadian Cloud Hosting. TECHNICAL AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Limits on the ability to collect personally identifiable data necessitated enhancements and changes to certain standard HKES Engagement Platform protocols. Hashing of IP addressees. To meet Government of Alberta privacy requirements it was not possible to store the IP addresses of participants with their results. As certain security checks rely on tracking activities from IPs, cryptographic hashes of participant IP addresses were stored in the database in lieu. This hashing is a one-way conversion of data that allowed security checks to be maintained without violating privacy requirements. Postal codes. Considering privacy policies, asking participants for their entire postal code in combination with age and gender was not appropriate. While the number of people in a postal code can range as high as 10,000, the average per postal code in Canada is 19 and the low is as few as one. As analysis did not require the full postal code, only the first three digits were requested. Age. Similarly, collecting birthdates in combination with postal code information and gender risked making participants identifiable. Broad age categories that map to Statistics Canada s standard breakouts were used (18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, 75+). collection. Upon completion of the engagement participants were offered the option to sign up for updates on Alberta s Climate Change Advisory Panel s process. Participants who provided their did so to a separate database than that storing their engagement input. This separate database integrated with the Government of Alberta s mailservers through a series of custom protocols. 4

7 Consideration was given to attempting to block out-of-province engagement participants based on geolocation using their IP address. In keeping with standard practice in the research industry, this consideration was rejected as impractical: The accuracy of geolocation depends on the accuracy of the lists used to match IP addresses to physical locations. It is difficult for even high quality lists to exceed 95 per cent accuracy when identifying the country of origin. Accuracy drops further when attempting to identify the region within a country where an IP resides. Mobile devices will often report as being located in a different region (British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec) even if they are being used by Albertans within Alberta. If participants cared to go to the effort, they could use proxy servers to beat the IP restricting by making it look like their computer was located in Alberta. There are also legitimate reasons why an Albertan would complete the online engagement while outside of the province (on vacation, business). Similarly, there is ample opportunity for non-albertans visiting our province to complete the engagement if they wish. Ultimately, IP exclusion would not exclude people who are visiting Alberta from completing the engagement and would certainly exclude legitimate Alberta respondents. Geolocation was done instead by asking the participant to provide the first three digits of their postal code. The engagement was attempted 718 times by individuals who provided non-alberta postal codes. ENGAGEMENT PARTICIPANTS Participants for the engagement were solicited from two distinct pools: Online public engagement. The online public engagement was an openinvitation, opt-in experience where people chose to participate based on their interest in the subject matter. Opt-in samples by their nature tend to provide more extreme opinions about the subject at hand (on both sides of an issue) than the population as a whole. They are, however, arguably more reflective of how the conversation around an issue will play out: those who will self-select their participation in an online engagement are also more likely to self-select participation in a public debate than the public at large. As a result, this pool provides a useful look into the opinions of the motivated participants who are already actively engaged on the issue. sample. To complement these public results a demographically representative sample of 1,963 Albertans was acquired from global data firm Research Now. Participants acquired through these means by Research Now were selected randomly based on their demographics rather than their interest in the issue. Results from this group provide greater insight into the sentiments of the population as a whole. 5

8 n ANALYSIS PARTICIPANT GROUPS Responses from the online public engagement were calculated three different ways. As a decision to include or exclude results can be controversial, tables for two extreme models (aggressively excluding all potential duplicates or aggressively allowing in all results) have been provided in this report in addition to the standard participant model. All tables can be found in Appendix C. All responses participant group. All responses with full demographics and an Alberta postal code. No IP exclusion is applied this results in the inclusion of a number of IPs that completed the engagement well beyond the upper thresholds of the standard model (including 277 results from one IP). The all results participant group is made up of 25,432 responses. Unique IP participant group. Aggressive IP exclusion is applied only the first result from each IP is included. This group likely excludes a number of legitimate participants, as there are various reasons that multiple results may come from a single IP, such as family members using the same computer. The unique IP participant group is made up of 16,256 responses. Standard participant group. The standard model for analyzing responses from open-invitation engagements. This group excludes excessive responses by only counting the first three results from an IP address. An exception here is responses from computers at the Climate Leadership Discussions open houses, where all responses were considered. The standard participant group is made up of 19,117 responses. In addition to the three participant groups originating with the online engagement the fourth group is derived from the demographic sample provided by Research Now. sample participant group. This group is assembled to be representative of Albertans as a whole. The demographic sample participant group is made up of 1,963 responses. 6

9 RESPONSES BY GROUP The following tables reflect completed engagements where age group, gender and an Alberta postal code were provided. Participation rates in the online public engagement varied significantly depending on age, gender and region. Calgary Female Male All Responses Unique IP Standard Edmonton Female Male All Responses Unique IP Standard Other Female Male All Responses Unique IP Standard

10 WEIGHTING Because engagement participants do not come equally from all walks of life and certain ages, genders and regions are more likely to participate than others, results have been weighted to ensure they are reflective of the general population. Using the most recent census data from Statistics Canada on age, gender and location, we are able to calculate how many respondents would come from each demographic group in a perfectly balanced sample. WEIGHTING: AN EXAMPLE If Calgary females between the ages of 18 and 24 make up 1.866% of the population as a whole they should make up 1.866% of the weight of the engagement results. As only 1.353% of respondents to the engagement are from this group, this group is weighted up by making results from this group impact the top lines times as much as they normally would. Similarly, as Calgary males aged make up 0.997% of the population as a whole but are 2.312% of respondents, this group is weighted down by making results from this group impact the engagement top lines times as much as they normally would. NORMALIZED AND DERIVED SCORES To assist in comparing responses across multiple questions and multiple crosstabs, normalized and derived scores were created as part of the analysis. Normalized scores. Each tier on a question that asks respondents to rank order can be thought of as an individual question: first, second, third, fourth and fifth choice can all be reviewed individually. Normalized ranking scores combine an option s placement across all tiers into a single numerical value from 0 to 100 to give a better sense of the overall popularity of any given choice. o o o o o 1 st choice: 100 points 2 nd : 75 points 3 rd : 50 points 4 th : 25 points 5 th : 0 points Derived scores. Result tables for questions that asked respondents to rate their levels of agreement, support or concern include a derived score row that converts the scale responses into a single numerical value from 0 to 100 that represents the average for the population identified. o o o o o Strongly disagree/strongly oppose: 0 points Disagree/oppose: 25 points Neither agree nor disagree/unsure: 50 points Agree/support: 75 points Strongly agree/strongly support: 100 points 8

11 COMPARISON OF RESULTS BETWEEN PARTICIPANT GROUPS On the whole, the different participant groups provided similar direction. An example of this using the question Do you believe the government should take strong action on climate change? is shown in the chart below. 80.0% 60.0% 40.0% 20.0% 0.0% 55.0% 42.0% 59.1% 38.6% 59.8% 38.1% 69.0% 25.4% 61.8% 35.4% 65.2% 32.6% 65.9% 32.0% 68.7% 25.6% All Standard Unique IPs All Standard Unique IPs UNWEIGHTED WEIGHTED Yes No Prefer not to say In comparing results by participant group there are several observations that can be made: The primary difference between the online public engagement and the demographically representative sample is one of intensity. While overall sentiment is comparable, positions in the online public engagement sample are more polarized. An excess of responses from individual IP addresses (4+) were more likely to oppose action on climate change. Accordingly, results sets that included these participants were more likely to show increased opposition. Men were more likely to respond than women; and Calgarians responded in greater numbers than elsewhere in Alberta. When results are balanced (weighted) by age, region and gender, support for government action increases. The final question from the engagement whether or not a participant would be willing to pay more to combat climate change illustrates the hill and valley pattern typical of the demographic sample and the more polarized online public engagement. 3 1 Definitely$oppose$ Probably$oppose$ Unsure$ Probably$support$ Definitely$support$ Standard$ $ 9

12 OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS In addition to the twenty structured questions that made up the majority of the online engagement, participants were also provided the opportunity to give open-ended responses at three different occasions. From across the three opportunities to provide open-ended feedback, a total of 34,456 written comments were received from 15,788 unique participants. Open-ended responses were analyzed using three methods. A quantitative word count and a sentiment analysis were undertaken on comments received from the 15,788 unique participants. Additionally, a qualitative content analysis was undertaken on a randomly selected sample of 500 unique participants. The number of participants chosen for content analysis was set to be sufficiently large to capture the opinions of participants and cover the number of subgroups identified in this project. While margin of error cannot be calculated for qualitative analysis 500 participants would result in a 4.3% margin of error with 95% confidence using standard calculations. Word count analysis. The frequency of words or phrases appearing provides a very high-level view of the open-ended responses and can give a sense of what topics were considered most noteworthy or important. Sentiment analysis. Certain groupings of words or phrases indicate whether a writer is expressing a positive or negative sentiment about the topic at hand. On a question-by-question and participant-by-participant basis, these indicative phrases were identified and measured, providing both an estimation of sentiment expressed and the confidence in that estimation. Content analysis. This qualitative analysis involved reviewing comments made by 500 randomly selected participants and sorting them into common topic categories. A brief narrative was then provided on these categories to acknowledge the range of comments received. 10

13 RESULTS n HOW TO READ THE RESULTS The current question. A visualization of responses to the question. Unless otherwise noted, results from the online public engagement are represented by the colour blue and results from the demographic sample are represented by the colour red. Responses from the Standard participant group of the online public engagement. All columns except Act Yes/Act No are weighted to populations as defined in the 2011 Canadian Census. Crosstab definitions can be found in Appendix B. Responses from the demographically weighted sample acquired from Research Now. Derived scores are created from converting the options onto a scale where 0 would be everybody strongly disagreeing/not being concerned/etc. and 100 being everybody strongly agreeing/being very concerned/etc. 11
