Summary

The principles are intended to guide the actions of businesses, consumers and governments within Canada in the development of a consumer protection framework for electronic commerce. The principles were drafted by a working group of representatives from Canadian businesses, consumer associations and governments, recognizing that a sound framework for consumer protection will promote consumer confidence and facilitate the acceptance and growth of electronic commerce. The working group has agreed to review the principles regularly to ensure their continued relevance in the rapidly changing electronic marketplace.
