Sur une \u00e9chelle de 1 \u00e0 10 (allant d’aucune importance \u00e0\u00a0une grande importance), pr\u00e8s de la moiti\u00e9 des r\u00e9pondants\u00a0estiment que la recherche-d\u00e9veloppement est importante en la notant avec 9 ou plus, et 25,8 p. 100 lui attribuent 8 sur l’\u00e9chelle (question 1).<\/p>\n

Ce sondage t\u00e9l\u00e9phonique par \u00e9chantillons al\u00e9atoires a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s de 1 203 Canadiens entre le 25 juillet et le 3 ao\u00fbt 2011, suivant une marge d’erreur de plus ou moins 2,8 points de pourcentage, 19 fois sur 20.<\/p>\n

Cette moiti\u00e9 de Canadiens pour qui la R-D a une grande importance se r\u00e9partit \u00e9galement entre toutes les r\u00e9gions du pays et quelle que soit leur affiliation politique.<\/p>\n

Autrement dit, la question fait d\u00e9j\u00e0 l’objet d’un consensus national. On peut donc s’\u00e9tonner qu’aucun parti politique f\u00e9d\u00e9ral ou provincial n’ait mis\u00e9 sur ce vaste soutien \u00e0 la R-D dans ses propositions visant \u00e0 renforcer la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 de notre pays dans l’\u00e9conomie mondialis\u00e9e du XXIe si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l’autre extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 de l’\u00e9chelle, seulement 0,5 p. 100 des Canadiens disent n’accorder aucune importance \u00e0 la R-D pour la prosp\u00e9rit\u00e9 du pays. M\u00eame en consid\u00e9rant la marge d’erreur, ce r\u00e9sultat n’est significatif que parce qu’il est statistiquement n\u00e9gligeable.<\/p>\n

Cela dit, les Canadiens ne sont pas n\u00e9cessairement en phase avec les initiatives de R-D de leur pays. Quand on leur demande s’ils sont \u00ab au courant de l’existence du Programme des chaires de recherche du Canada \u00bb, 71,8 p. 100 r\u00e9pondent par la n\u00e9gative, contre 28,1 p. 100 qui en ignorent tout (question 4).<\/p>\n

Un r\u00e9sultat plus positif qu’il n’y para\u00eet \u00e0 premi\u00e8re vue. Car pr\u00e8s de trois Canadiens sur 10 ont entendu parler du programme, qui est destin\u00e9 aux universit\u00e9s du pays, n’a jamais d\u00e9fray\u00e9 la chronique et ne touche pas directement leurs pr\u00e9occupations \u00e9conomiques. Quant \u00e0 ceux qui en ignorent l’existence, on parlera d’un verre aux deux tiers vide, mais au tiers plein.<\/p>\n

Or ce verre se remplit d\u00e8s qu’il est question d’appuyer le financement public du Programme des chaires de recherche.<\/p>\n

En effet, pas moins de quatre Canadiens sur cinq\u00a0approuvent le financement public de ce programme (question 5), 60,3p.100 se disant \u00abd’accord\u00bb et 19,8p.100 \u00ab plut\u00f4t d’accord \u00bb pour lui apporter leur soutien.<\/p>\n

Bref, 80 p. 100 des Canadiens soutiennent le Programme des chaires de recherche et autres programmes universitaires d’excellence en R-D. C’est \u00e9norme.<\/p>\n

Quand on leur demande si le Canada accorde \u00e0 la R-D une importance sup\u00e9rieure, \u00e9gale ou inf\u00e9rieure aux autres pays du G8, leurs r\u00e9ponses correspondent au bilan en cette mati\u00e8re que pr\u00e9sentent les articles de notre num\u00e9ro sur l’innovation.<\/p>\n

Seulement un r\u00e9pondant sur cinq (19,1 p. 100 ) juge ainsi que le Canada accorde \u00e0 la R-D une importance sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 ses partenaires du G8, tandis que plus d’un sur trois (38 p. 100) estime cette importance \u00ab \u00e9gale \u00bb et un dernier tiers (34,7 p. 100 ) \u00ab inf\u00e9rieure \u00bb (question 2).<\/p>\n

Quant aux efforts que le secteur priv\u00e9 canadien consacre \u00e0 l’innovation (question 3), une nette majorit\u00e9 les juge \u00ab suffisants \u00bb (30,7 p. 100) ou \u00ab plut\u00f4t suffisants \u00bb (26,4 p. 100), seulement 21 p. 100 les estimant \u00ab insuffisants \u00bb et 13,6 p. 100 \u00ab plut\u00f4t insuffisants \u00bb.<\/p>\n

Seul un tiers des Canadiens consid\u00e8re donc insuffisant l’engagement du secteur priv\u00e9 en faveur de la recherched\u00e9veloppement, ce qui ne va pas sans contredire d’autres donn\u00e9es sur la question avanc\u00e9es dans ce num\u00e9ro d’Options politiques.<\/p>\n

Mais justement, les d\u00e9bats d’opinion n’ont-ils pas pour fonction de sensibiliser l’opinion publique aux enjeux qui la concernent?<\/p>\n
