Canada Will Establish Do-Not-Call List
Canada's minister of industry said yesterday that the Canadian Parliament adopted amendments to the Telecommunications Act allowing for the establishment of a national do-not-call list. John Gustavson, president/CEO of the Canadian Marketing Association, said he doesn't expect the list to take effect until summer or fall 2007. The amendments give the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, which will regulate the list, power to levy fines against telemarketers who don't follow the rules.
