The "do-not-call" list in Canada is operated
by the Canadian Marketing Association (CMA). CMA members, who account for
about 80 percent of direct response sales in Canada, want to present offers
only to those consumers interested in their products and services and are
happy to comply with requests for name removal.
People can register on the
Canadian Do Not Call List to have their names removed from marketing
lists in Canada held by CMA members. This will reduce the number of
marketing offers they receive by mail and telephone.
Update:
The Canadian
Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) released a public
notice asking for input on the development and operation of a National Do
Not Call List (DNCL) and on telemarketing rules. The CRTC will be developing
the developing rules to implement the long-awaited national Do-Not-Call
Registry to help consumers avoid telemarketers. The registry is expected to
be put in place sometime in 2007 and will have a much wider scope than the
voluntary "do not call" list operated by the CMA.
