Canada’s House of Commons is considering amendments to exempt charities that meet certain criteria and organizations with established client relationships from proposed legislation (Bill C-37) to establish a National Do-Not-Call Registry for telemarketers.
If the bill becomes law the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission will be responsible for setting up the registry.
“We believe the these amendments strike a good balance. Canadians want intrusive telemarketing stopped, and we want to protect consumers’ interests while allowing charities and organizations to pursue their legitimate business,” said David L. Emerson, Minister of Industry, in a prepared statement.
