The Confederation of Tomorrow is an annual survey of public opinion exploring the views of Canadians towards the future of the federation and their political communities. This survey serves as an important resource to academics, journalists, and researchers seeking public opinion data on federalism.

The 2025 study consists of a survey of 5,391 adults, conducted between May 1 and June 16, 2025 (92% of the responses were collected between May 6 and May 29); 90% of the responses were collected online. The remaining responses were collected by telephone (both landline and cell phone) from respondents living in the North or on First Nations reserves, or from francophone respondents in New Brunswick.
