As of this coming September 30th, the national do-not-call-list officially begins operating. Under the new rules set forth by the CRTC, telemarketers will not be allowed to call anyone who registers either by phone with Bell Canada Inc. (who is administering the list on behalf of the CRTC) or online at www.lnnte-dncl.gc.ca. Telemarketers could be eligible for fines of $1,500 in the case of an individual or $15,000 for corporations if a person who has registered complains about being contacted by a telemarketer. I wonder if this includes national survey's that are done such as election polls?
