Summary
Canada has recently taken steps to standardize the rules protecting consumers who engage in internet transactions. Some of these changes may have a substantial impact upon the operations of businesses with publicly available interactive websites.
The two major developments concern the endorsement of a common code of conduct for e-commerce consumer protection by the federal and provincial governments and the soon to be implemented new consumer protection legislation and regulations in Ontario.
