Reply/Réponse The New Act Has Merit if Enforced ­ Exactly What I Said

De Clercy and Ferguson state that there are problems with my analysis of poll reporting during the 2000 Canadian election. One disagreement is with the methodology used. I analyzed first-hand reports of the national polls published in all Canadian newspapers in French and in English. I maintain that this is a better choice than theirs: a case study of all reports in one newspaper. I agree that the major problem with the Elections Act is enforcement, but I contend that if the Act were clearer about which information is required, it would be easier to enforce.
