A researcher at a Canadian institution eligible to receive Agency funding wishes to determine the frequency of cannabis consumption among high school students in Canada. The researcher will create a website that includes a secure link to a survey for students wishing to participate in the research. For scientific reasons, only students who have already used cannabis will be invited to participate and respond anonymously to the survey (please answer all questions by YES or NO).The researcher believes that some of the high school students who will respond to the survey may come from an Indigenous community. However, the researcher does not intend to make Indigeneity an element of their analysis of the findings. Moreover, it will not be possible for the researcher to know which participants are from Indigenous communities, because the survey does not include socio-demographic questions that would allow such description. In this case, is the researcher required to do community engagement?
