CRTC tells telemarketers not to fear do-not-call list

This article is about people who are complaining about getting inconvenient calls that they don't want. Companies that violate the list could be fined up to $15,000, while individuals could be fined up to $1,500. Consumers will have 14 days to file a complaint. The list is a list of phone numbers that are only important fot the people who you want to call you. In 2006, $4.1 billion was spent on telemarketing in Canada, generating $26.1 billion in sales and creating 155,000 jobs. Hill said hundreds of thousands of businesses in Canada engage in telemarketing annually.
In 1993, the CMA set up its own do not contact program, in which consumers register for free and CMA members risk being expelled from the organization if they do not comply.
But Hill said it is a not "comprehensive solution" and that is why the CMA urged the federal government to set up a national do-not-call list.

My Opinion

I would get frustrated to if I got calls that i didn't want. But I think that this list will help in some way because it will cut some of the calling numbers that you don't want to call you. I hope that they do make this likst because it will improve the situation.
