Statistics Canada and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat invite you to participate in the third Quantitative Impact Assessment (QIA) workshop.
Quantitative Impact Assessment (QIA) Workshop (2024)
Statistics Canada (StatCan) and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) have organized a four-day workshop on using QIA methods for program evaluation. Participants will learn the strengths and limitations of QIA methods and how to better leverage data.
