Statement made on 04 February 2009 by Senator Percy Downe

Hon. Percy E. Downe:

Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

The government announced with great fanfare its National Do Not Call List, which was to protect Canadians from annoying and unwanted calls from telemarketers. Certain seniors who have registered their phone numbers advise me they are now receiving more calls than ever before. The government sells the phone numbers registered on the list online for $55, allowing telemarketers and scam artists to access the very phone numbers that the list intends to protect.

Honourable senators, what is the government doing to rectify this problem, and how soon will seniors and other Canadians stop receiving these unwanted telephone calls?
