Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today in my Member’s statement I talked about the need for consumer protection legislation as it pertains to wireless communications. In fact, I used the word “cell shock,” because I think that’s what happens to many people when they open up their cell phone bills. I know I’m part of that 99 percent.
As a result, as I said in my Member’s statement, many provinces have adopted legislation to help protect consumers with respect to this type of unaware procedure that may be occurring within the telecommunication industry.
So my question for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs is: Is the department prepared to entertain such legislation in the near future?
