Next, restaurants found in the Yellow Pages of the telephone
directory or through regional tourist offices were contacted by fax
or e-mail. Those contacted were directed to the questionnaire
website where they were asked to fill out the questionnaire online
or by telephone. In all, not counting invalid addresses or fax
numbers, 229 faxes and 425 e-mails were sent between May and
September 2010. Messages were also broadcast via Facebook sites
and personal contacts of the researchers. In all, 223 people visited
the website between May and October 2010 and 54 filled out the
questionnaire on line and one by telephone, for a total of 66 respondents.
All attempts to contact respondents were carried out in
French and the questionnaire was available only in French, the only
official language in Quebec.
